Reviews

`Review from previous edition No one has ever written a book like this before. No one but Simon Hornblower could write such a book now.'
TLS
`The results are exhilarating and breathless. The reader is dragged not only all over Pindar and Thucydides but also in and out of a great deal of modern scholarship, whose virtues and vices are gently pointed out along the way.'
TLS
