This is an excellent collection, the best available in its field. --J. Rufus Fears, University of Oklahoma

A distinctive and superior collection of texts suitable for both graduate and undergraduate courses. There is nothing like it elsewhere. Steinberger's commentary is succint, accurate, and very useful. --Dr. Melvin Kulbicki, York College of Pennsylvania

A useful and well-thought anthology, to be used in undergraduate courses in Classical political philosophy. Excellent idea to include plays that shed light on political life in ancient Greece. --Dr. Aurelian Craiutu, Indiana University
