Reviews
Reviews 'An ideal book for undergraduate and graduate students of ancient history [as] it includes an English translation, focuses on the historical and historiographical aspects and is more affordable than the large commentary.'
Gertjan Verhasselt, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
'Indispensable for drilling deep into the history and the educated democratic system of Athens.'
Uwe Walter, Historische Zeitschrift (translated from German)
'The mere fact that it combines text, translation, and commentary, all in one place, already places this book well above the principal alternatives [...] The price is also very reasonable given the size of the book; any decent library that professes to cater to students of classics or ancient history ought to acquire a copy. It seems almost certain that Rhodes will serve yet another generation of English -speaking students as their initial guide to the study of the Athenaion Politeia - and serve them very well indeed.'
Thomas Hooper, Polis
