Jacques Jouanna is a member of the Institut de France and professor emeritus of Greek at the Universit de Paris-Sorbonne. His many books include Hippocrates and Greek Medicine from Hippocrates to Galen.
"[Jouanna’s} book will give both classicists and general readers
hours of pleasure. It is encyclopaedic, detailed, fascinating,
readable and tremendous value for money."---Marion Gibbs, Classics
for All
"Regardless of its entanglements with democratic culture, Greek
tragedy remains a nebulous,
shimmering planet just barely visible to the naked human eye.
Immense imagination and enormous erudition seem requisite to
approaching the greatness and complexity of Sophocles’ oeuvre.
Jouanna has advanced the world’s understanding closer to this
elusive goal."---Joel Aiden Schlosser, Polis, The Journal for
Ancient Greek and Roman Political Thought (AGPT)
"A magnificent companion to Sophocles."---Jarsolav Danes, Eirene -
Studia Graeca et Latina
