Reviews
It will be a delight to all Classicists ... On nearly every page there is some felicity of composition to be admired, some turn of phrase that arouses admiration for the translator. In its entirety, it is an extraordinary work - it is also a wonderfully good read * Theodore Brennan, Professor of Philosophy and Classics, Cornell University *
