Editorial Reviews

Review
...the accumulation of learned details is astounding and really casts a new light on both authors. Rosaria V. Munson, Journal of Hellenic Studies 126, Reviews of Books 171-2 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 exhilirating 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

Review
`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 --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
