'Grethlein has written a remarkably broad, erudite, and often original study.' Victor Bers, American Journal of Philology 'This is an ambitious, lucid, well-researched and well-organized book ... [It] provides a stimulating argument and one based on much careful analysis of ancient texts and knowledge of the extensive relevant modern scholarship ... One looks forward for more from Jonas Grethlein in the future on these and similar challenging topics.' Carolyn Dewald, Classical Journal '... a valuable read on Hellenic memory as ideological tool.' Donald Lateiner, The Historian
