Reviews

`Review from previous edition an ideal text for students. Readers unfamiliar with this historical period are also made welcome; Lloyd assumes no knowledge of the classical world, and his argument develops very clearly.'

`Those already familiar with Lloyd's discussions of ancient science, philosophy and medicine will be interested to read through his eyes Greek epic poetry, tragedy, and history.'
