Reviews

Review from previous edition Dillon's book [contains a] wealth of information and systematic analysis. Classicists and philosophers will learn a great deal from reading it. Also, they will probably enjoy Dillon's clear and often witty prose, as I did. Voula Tsouna, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
