Reviews for From Solon to Socrates: Greek History and Civilization During the 6th and 5th Centuries BC
‘Dr Ehrenberg’s mastery of ancient sources and modern scholarship is beyond cavil: nothing seems to escaped 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
