The overall production of the volume is marked by a similar clarity of presentation (blue and black font, illustrations, notes, etc.) and overall high quality, starting from a generous Introduction and featuring, among other useful items, a ‘How to use this book’ orientation, some Tips for Translation, a Timeline of events and classical authors, as well as a full 2-page map of the Eastern Mediterranean world, indicating the most important city-states and including Greece, Asia Minor, and North Africa … Affleck and Letchford’s OCR Anthology of appealing and generously-framed readings, which span some 1,000 years of Greek culture, will prove a rich and stimulating complement for the third semester (college) or spring of the second-year (high school), culminating in selected original texts of Euripides (\u003ci\u003eAlcestis, Electra, Bacchae\u003c\/i\u003e), Plato (\u003ci\u003ePhaedo\u003c\/i\u003e), Plutarch (\u003ci\u003eLife of Lycurgus\u003c\/i\u003e) and Lucian.” – \u003ci\u003eNew England Classical Journal\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781474265485\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40596128923854,"sku":"9781474265485","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_fff0507a-8dfa-4f4b-83f1-fba64cf347d6.jpg?v=1637849923","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781474265485","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
