Hellenica
"In the future when the historian sifts through the debris of our era, oversaturated with information, once the dross has been cast aside, more than a few of the things that remain will be bound in the covers of The Edwin Mellen Press. - Charles S. Kraszewski King's College "It is time for a new text and translation of one of the most important historical texts in Greek history, Xenophon's Hellenica. The current available texts are dated and suffer from a lack of familiarity with the manuscript tradition for this important work... The translators have rejected derivative manuscripts and concentrated on those that they have shown in previously published work to have been the critical witnesses. In so doing, they have been able to sweep away many earlier, sometimes fanciful, emendations and offer here a text that has fewer "corrections" that we have come to expect and a more economical critical apparatus that is easier to consult... Those of us who consult this important history will now do so with a greater sense of confidence. All ancient historians and classicists will welcome this new look at an old friend." - Professor Robert F. Hohfelder, Department of History, University of Colorado, Boulder"--This text refers to an alternateHardcoveredition.
