`Standards of scholarship and clarity are throughout very high ... a collection of articles exhibiting the fine combination of scholarly and philosophical understanding that now marks the best Stoic studies.'
J.I.Daniel, The Classical Review, Vol.51, No.1, 2001
`This collection of essays by prominent philosophers and classicists contains studies that specialists will find valuable... fresh and challenging readings of important issues in Stoic philosophy, which will stimulate additional response from within the scholarly community. Thus, this collection of essays not only demonstrates the vitality of scholarship on Stoicism and Hellenistic philosophy, it also further contributes to it.'
