Reviews

'With this thoroughly researched, well-documented, and generally well-reasoned project, centered upon a close reading of the Constitution of the Lacedaemonians, Humble makes a compelling case for her main thesis and a valuable contribution to Xenophon scholarship.' Lorraine Pangle, Polis, The Journal for Ancient Greek and Roman Political Thought
