Summary: Marvelous layout, but Thucydides in the end
Review: Without question, Strassler's edition needs to be the standard edition by which source texts of any kind are measured. The sidenotes, endnotes, and paragraph dating alone make it an absolute treasure to work with.The only problem is that it's, err, Thucydides. He reads like a Doctoral dissertation. I realise there are some who truly enjoy reading dissertations, but after reading a page of Thucydides, I have to take a break and read Herodotus so I don't die of thirst.
