The Art and Culture of Early Greece, 1100-480 B.C.
"Written in a very articulate and clear manner with occasional long and illustrative citations that make it fine reading. . . . He describes particular events . . . beautifully, in a novelistic style, without deviating from historical truth."—Choice"This book is a tour de force, written in an arresting, sometimes dazzling style, with a fine sense of humour. The author's enthusiasm shows, throughout, in an uncommonly engaging way. Clarity and ease of writing all but mask the serious nature of the investigation and its labours."—Phoenix: The Journal of the Classical Association of Canada
