Review:
"In conclusion, after the reissue of the most influential articles in Rusten's Oxford Readings and the refreshing reassessment of well-known topics in Rengakos and Tsakmakis' Brill's Companion, the present volume is another important collective volume on Thucydides: it is a good introduction to new trends in Thucydidean scholarship and a proof of their interpretative fertility."Vasileios Liotsakis in: BMCR 2013.11.46
