From the leading scholars behind The Greek Plays, a collection of the best translations of the foremost early Greek historians, presenting a sweeping history of Ancient Greece by its first chroniclers.
“This astute selection of texts, intelligently and accessibly interconnected and in highly readable translations, is just the thing to remind usat human history, though lamentably a work in progress, is always something we can understand better.” —Sarah Ruden, translator of The Gospels and author of The Face of Water
From acclaimed classical historian and author of Ghost on the Throne and The Landmark Arrian--a work of history on the grand scale: a high stakes drama full of murder, madness, tyranny, perversion, and "a plot that is hot, simply teeming with sex...[and in which] everyone ends in mincemeat."
From the editor of the widely praised Landmark series comes The Landmark Arrian: The Campaigns of Alexander, the account from classical Greece of the conquests of the greatest military leader of all time, presented here in Strassler's trademark richly illustrated and annotated edition.
