"Paul Cartledge... once again shows why he is the surest and most engaging guide to the ancient world." --Justin Marozzi, Evening Standard 29/11/2009, Review from previous edition: "Paul Cartledge, Cambridge don and doyen of Classicists, once again shows why he is the surest and most engaging guide to the ancient world. Ancient Greece: A history in Eleven Cities is a tremendously readable tour d'horizon that goes far beyond Athens and Spartato explore the roots of Greek civilisation." --Justin Marozzi, Evening Standard 21.11.09, "A wonderfully concise - and witty - introduction to an ever-popular subject." --Sir John Boardman, co-editor of 'The Oxford History of Greece and the Hellenistic World', "Cartledge's success lies in his ability to negotiate a path between similarity and difference; with proper scholarly detachment, he stresses how different the Greeks were; with an eye to broader historical trajectories, he reflects on the grounds for their continuing fascination." --Tim Rood, Times Literary Supplement 11/06/2010, "Paul Cartledge has here pulled off a remarkably clever feat of compression and organization, and will once again place very many readers in his debt.
