"Foster and Lateiner's collection of essays on the two foundational writers of the Western tradition of history, Herodotus and Thucydides, is an exceptional volume. The range is wide, and the specific topics covered are ambitious (e.g., the relationship of epic and historiography, Thucydides as a reader of Herodotus, the Persians in Thucydides, both writers and rhetoric, Xenophon, Roman Republican historiography). Editorial generosity combined with firmness is surely responsible for the fact that the individual works, though diverse, share an unusual depth, focus, and clarity of expression."--C.M.C.
