'This lively and energetic book well matches its subject matter. The sources are excellent - plainly and vigorously translated, meticulously ascribed, and presented with a full and critical commentary. A vast range is used, much of it unfamiliar. This book will prove a delight alike to specialists and non-specialists ... I would like to see such source book appear on every aspect of Greek and Roman life. Professor Sweet has set a fine example.' Jennifer Gibbon, Highbury Fields School. JACT Review
