There is much to admire about this volume. First of all, it includes the different (although sometimes overlapping) disciplines of ancient history, classics, and political theory, all of which have significantly different approaches to the same material ... the chapters do a thorough job of synthesizing decades of research into bite-size accessible units that both present the fundamental arguments for a beginner and offer new perspectives for the scholar ... It is an extremely impressive volume with a great deal to offer for both the undergraduate and the scholar alike.
