Born on this day in 1895 at Wimbleton, England, the very talented Robert Graves. He served in WWI, and is known for his war memoir, Goodbye To All That. But he is best known as a writer of ancient times and ancient beliefs... his Greek mythology collections have been a go-to for students of that world, rivaled only by Edith Hamilton and Bullfinch... And his work on ancient Rome, particularly I, Claudius, has become the vehicle from which modern folks know of 1st century Rome. A brilliant author, a master of historical fiction! famouspoetsandpoems/poets/robert_graves/biography
