“Ancient Greece is an excellent, indeed an exemplary sourcebook, one worth a look by any historian and not just a specialist in ancient Greece. Ancient Greece stands out from the crowd of sourcebooks in ancient history because of its breadth, depth, and scholarship. I cannot over-emphasize what a service to education Ancient Greece thereby offers, by giving intelligent undergraduates a hands-on introduction to the business of doing ancient history.” – Barry S. Strauss, Bryce and Edith M. Bowmar Professor in Humanistic Studies Emeritus, Cornell University
