The book began in a conference to mark his retirement in 2014, and the stellar cast-list is itself testimony to Cartledge's influence and esteem; these have been matched by his immense energy in communicating with a broader public, not least through his engagement with Friends of Classics and Classics for All. Paul deserves a tribute of the highest quality, and he gets one here. -- Classics for All Big questions are recurrently put, new ways are found to look for answers, ancient and modern worlds intertwine, and simple models illuminate but also fall short of the rich messiness of life. And Paul Cartledge will welcome all those ideas with the infectious enthusiasm that he has shown about so much for so long. -- Christopher Pelling, Classics for All Recommended. -- CHOICE Recommended. * CHOICE * Big questions are recurrently put, new ways are found to look for answers, ancient and modern worlds intertwine, and simple models illuminate but also fall short of the rich messiness of life.
