The Greek Historians

Rating:
Summary: good introduction to the subject
Review: I have been interested in the Ancient Greeks since childhood. Luce's book offers a well written introduction to the great works of the Greek Historians. He seems to be fair and impartial. What's more the book is in easily understandable language(no Academese). Still one gets the impression that the author knows what he is talking about. The only quarrel I have with the book is that Luce cramps a lot of people into the last chapter. In my oppinion he should either have left out some of them or written a longer book.
