--Greece and Rome

"Burken relegates his realized documentation to the notes and writes in a full of life and fluent sort. The publication is usually recommended as an incredible contribution to the translation of historical Greek fantasy and formality. The breadth on my own of Burkert's studying renders his publication indispensable."

"Impressive. . . based on a remarkable wisdom of the complicated facts (literary, epigraphical, archaeological, comparative) for this vast topic. Burkert bargains an extraordinary mix of actual scholarship with mind's eye or even humor. an excellent publication, during which . . .the reader can see at each aspect what's going within the author's mind--and that's by no means boring, and infrequently unimportant."
