The Story of Archaeology
in Greek Lands
PAUL MacKENDRICK
"In this carefully written book Paul
MacKendrick of the University of

sanctuaries of the ancient Greek

earth . . . a must for anyone who
loves archaeology and knoW's
Greece."-GILBERT HIGHET

The Mute Stones Speak
The Story of Archaeology
in
Italy
PAUL MacKENDRICK
"... a noteworthy service for all
who are interested in the history
and archaeology of ancient Italy.
The author's main thesis is to show
how archaeology illuminates his–
tory and makes vivid the lives -and
activities of the people of ancient
times ... a worthy addition to the
growing number of archaeology
books aimed at the general reader
rather than the specialist."

Lectures on
'The Republic' of Plato
RICHARD LEWIS NETTLESHIP
"... a boon to scholars and stu–
dents that this valuable work is
available now in an elegant edi–
tion at a moderate price. Over six
decades have elapsed since Nettle–
ship lectured at Oxford, still his
profound understanding and lucid
interpretation of Plato's philosophy
have lost none of their stimulation
and scholarly value to modern
readers. The Nettleship lectures are
indeed 'a possession for all time.'''

Heroic Poetry
C. M. BOWRA
"This is comparative literaf;ure at
its best. For the teacher of the
classics, it is
per
se instructive
to
reconsider the Homeric epics in
the light of other examples of
heroic poetry. . . . In addition,
there is the light shed by this-study
on various Homeric problems, e.g.,
the probable antecedents of the
Iliad
and the
Odyssey
and the na–
ture of the Homeric dialect."

Persia and the Greeks
The Defense of the West
c. 546-478 B.C.
ANDREW BURN
"An excellent example of the new–
style approach to antiquities: com–
monsensical yet by no means over–
pragmatic, suspicious of prop'agan–
da without ever indulging in know–
ingly cynical hindsight, not afraid
to let rip on occasion with a juicy
chunk of narrative or characteriza–
tion, but far removed from mere
sensationalism." -
