‘Dr Ehrenberg’s mastery of ancient sources and modern scholarship is beyond cavil: nothing seems to escape this vigilant eye. Scarcely a page, moreover, fails to provide some illuminating comment on Greek life and letters, the fruit of a lifetime’s study and reflection.’ – The Times Literary Supplement
