Reviews

[DU Classical]

This veteran edition of carefully selected written historical sources in translation is exactly what you need to get ahead in your history module! Broken down into easily comprehensible sections of Greek history and their evidence, this book not only includes images and apt analyses of ancient texts, but also goes as far as providing questions and revision material for the reader. - Odie

pretty good for a textbook. the additional information provided by Wiley via a supplemental website was pretty cool.
