Recenzii
Dover's monumental scholarly achievement, clothed in a clarity of exposition that is a lesson to us all, ranks him as the leading Hellenist of his generation, and one of the finest the world has seen. The questions that this admirably wide-ranging book has raised about some aspects of his methodology do not shake that judgment, and suggest as many questions about modern methodologies as they do about Dover's. As for the 'searingly honest' portrait he paints of himself in his autobiography, it remains largely unaffected and an extraordinary testament to the man himself.
