	Ovid: Amores II edited with translation and commentary by Joan Booth Text, translation, commentary and notes. (Aris & Phillips 1991) Paperback. Price GB £18.00
	Plutarch: Malice of Herodotos with an introduction, translation and commentary by A. J. Bowen The Malice of Herodotus can perhaps best be described as the world's earliest known book review. But it is much more than that, for in the course of 'correcting' with considerable vituperation what he saw as Herodotus' anti-Greek bias, Plutarch tells us much about his own attitude to writing history. So that together with Lucian's How to Write History (see Lucian A Selection in this series) it forms a basic text for the study of Greek ... Paperback. Price GB £18.00
	Xenophon: Symposium edited by A.J. Bowen This Symposium has lived so much in the shadow of the famous one by Plato, that it has not received a full commentary in English for well over a hundred years. Yet it gives the only alternative view of Socrates and has a wit and vigour of its own which paints a picture of a Greek society that makes it a document of prime historical importance. 160p (Aris & Phillips 1999) Paperback. Price GB £18.00 Hardback. Publisher's Price GB £40.00, Our Price GB £9.95
	Terence: The Eunuch edited with translation and commentary by A.J. Brothers When first performed, The Eunuch was a great success. Today, with its larger-than-life characters (particularly the boastful soldier Thraso and the toady Gnatho), its farcical and exaggerated humour and its vigorous action, it strikes the modern reader as the funniest and most Plautine of Terence's six comedies. It is also a play of effective and entertaining contrasts, particularly that between the two brothers Phaedria and Chaerea. Their ... Paperback. Price GB £18.00 Hardback. Publisher's Price GB £40.00, Our Price GB £9.95
	Terence: the Self-Tormentor edited with translation and commentary by A. J. Brothers. (Aris and Phillips 1988) Paperback. Price GB £18.00
	Sophocles: Antigone by A. L. Brown Sophocles' Antigone is among the greatest and most famous of all works of Greek literature, and it is often the play that is read first, whether in Greek or in translation, by those who are beginning to study Greek tragedy. But it is by no means an easy play, and the reader requires careful guidance if he is to appreciate its subtleties and come to grips with its problems. In this edition the introduction includes an account of the myth, a ... Paperback. Price GB £18.00 Hardback. Publisher's Price GB £40.00, Our Price GB £9.95
	Horace: Satires I by P. M. Brown Horace's Satires not only handles moral topics with a persuasive air of sweet reason but also reveals much of the poet's own engaging personality and way of life. This edition incorporates a new text and prose translation and is designed to make the poems readily accessible to the modern reader by elucidating their content, structure and background. Latin text with facing-page translation, commentary and notes. 208p (Aris and Phillips ... Paperback. Price GB £18.00
	Lucretius: De Rerum Natura III with an introduction, translation and commentary by Michael Brown Lucretius' poem, for which Epicurean philosophy provided the inspiration, attempts to explain the nature of the universe and its processes with the object of freeing mankind from religious fears. The third book not only seeks to demonstrate that, since the soul is mortal, there can be no after-life, but also aims to reconcile the reader to the prospect of the end of his consciousness. This edition incorporates a new text and prose translation and ... Paperback. Price GB £18.00 Hardback. Publisher's Price GB £40.00, Our Price GB £9.95
	Euripides: Helen edited, with translation and commentary by Peter Burian~ Helen who has always been faithful to her husband Menelaus; who never went to Troy, but was carried off to Egypt, where she remains throughout the Trojan War, waiting faithfully for her husband Menelaus to rescue her. Meanwhile, Helen of Troy - a mere phantom fashioned by the gods - has blighted the real Helen's life with undeserved hatred. Helen plays with this premise in ways that make it by turns amusing and disturbing, playful and full ... Paperback. Price GB £18.00 Hardback. Price GB £40.00
	Greek Orators VI: Apollodorus Against Nearia with an introduction, translation and commentary by C. Carey. Rational persuasion and appeal to an audience's emotions are elements of most literature, but they are found in their purest form in oratory. The speeches written by the Greek Orators for delivery in law-courts, deliberative councils and assemblies enjoyed an honoured literary status, and rightly so, for the best of them have great vitality. There is no crude, primitive stage of development: the earliest speeches are perfect in form and highly ... Paperback. Price GB £18.00
