Recenzje

'One of this book's most admirable qualities is that its own curiosity is as boundless as that of the Greeks it describes. Its range of reference is dizzying. … comfortably the best general account of the topic in English (and one written accessibly for a wide student and general readership).' Thomas Harrison, Anglo-Hellenic Review
