Reviews

"Cornell University Press and the general editor of the Agora series, Thomas L. Pangle, have made a substantial contribution to the field of Xenophon studies with the publication of these volumes. Each one contains an excellent translation of one or several of Xenophon's writings ... and each translated work is richly annotated and accompanied by a helpful introductory essay."-Eric Buzzetti, Interpretation, 2003 "The book culminates with the most rousing of Xenophon's dialogues, the 'Symposium,' which Robert Bartlett translates in a vein of affable vivacity... The commentators demonstrate a tight grasp of content and structure, and their perspicuous analyses could well serve as models of how to approach the elaborate works of Xenophon."-Review of Metaphysics, March 1997
