The editor of an essay collection on Plato faces challenges that are
not faced, at least not to the same degree, by the editor of a
collection on any other figure of comparable stature.  Since Plato
mainly wrote dialogues, not treatises, there is no neat way to survey

a dialogue-by-dialogue approach would be unnecessa&lt;/pre&gt;</description>

At first glance, one might wonder how a philosopher such as Aristotle,
born in 384 BCE, could--as the title of Burger's book puts it--have a
dialogue with Socrates, who died in 399 BCE.  Not only did Aristotle
never see or hear Socrates in person, but since Socrates--according to
his contemporaries--never wrote anything, Aristotle also never
encountered the thoughts or opinions of Socrates at first hand.  Of
course, Aristotle encountered Plato's depiction of Socrates and i&lt;/pre&gt;</description>

There is much to commend in Drew Hyland's most recent book, though much
in it frustrates this reader.  The reader who is not eager for
arguments or detailed engagement with the scholarly literature, and is
interested in a more literary approach to the dialogues, will likely
benefit from this book.  When one thinks on Plato, however, and chances
to experience the "leaping spark" of insight that Hyland touches on, it
is valuable to fi&lt;/pre&gt;</description>

How to write a Greek history today? Schulz's solution is courageous:
Firstly, he presents a narrative differing from the flourishing
companion literature with its focus on single epochs or themes, each
volume subdivided into various chapters treated separately by
specialists. Secondly, he writes a book in German. Is he backwards in a
double sense?

A book like this one not only has to be judged in respect of its
position within the choir of already&lt;/pre&gt;</description>

It has been over 20 years since the publication of Gagarin's Early
Greek Law.  The study of Greek law has flourished in the meantime, but
archaic Greek law, owing to the paltriness of the relevant sources, has
not received proportional attention.  The main sources for archaic law
amount to a few literary texts and a few stones, and they do not tell a
consistent story.  As a result, we can only speculate about how social
contexts and processes influenced, or were influenced by, the
development of Greek law.  The aim of Papakonstantinou's book is&lt;/pre&gt;</description>

The Encyclopedia of Ancient Natural Scientists (EANS), edited by Paul

covering in its 2,053 entries a wide variety of scientific authors who
range in time from Homer to around AD 650 and in place from India to
Britain.  Given that "science" is nearly impossible to define,
especially in the context of premodern societies, the editors have
wisely decided on an inclusive approach, using as the sole criterion&lt;/pre&gt;</description>

The history of the last century of the Roman Republic is well worth
relating.  Land reform efforts, political bloodshed, shifting loyalty
of soldiers, the rise of the urban plebs, provincial conquests, piracy,
and open civil war make for an exciting narrative.  In this book Marin
takes us through the history of Rome from 133 - 44 B.C. with an
emphasis on the last four decades.  This story, of course, has been
told many times before.[[1]]  Marin's innovation is to focus the later
part of her work on Cato the &lt;/pre&gt;</description>
