	Thucydides: History, Book II edited with an introduction, translation and commentary by P. J. Rhodes Most editions of single books of Thucydides are nearly 100 years old, and concentrate heavily on textual and linguistic matters. This new edition of Book II, the book in which Thucydides' main narrative of the Peloponnesian war begins, contains an introduction, a Greek text, an English translation, and a commentary which should be useful not only to specialists but also to readers who know little or no Greek. Matters of texts and language are ... Paperback. Price GB £18.00 Hardback. Publisher's Price GB £40.00, Our Price GB £9.95
	Cassius Dio: Roman History 53.1 - 55.9 edited with translation and commentary by J W Rich Covers the years 28 to 5 BC; includes Dio's discussion of the constitutional settlement of 27 BC and the imperial system it inaugurated. 260p (Aris and Phillips 1990) Paperback. Price GB £18.00
	Appian: The Wars of the Romans in Iberia With an Introduction, Translation and Commentary by John Richardson Gappian wrote his Roman History in the second century AD as a series of books arranged geographically to chronicle the rise of the Roman empire. His Iberike, of which this is the first translation with historical commentary in English, deals with the Romans' wars in the Iberian peninsula from the third to the first centuries BC. It is only continuous source for much of the history of this crucial period in one of the earliest regions of Rome's ... Paperback. Price GB £18.00
	Plato: Symposium edited with an introduction, translation and notes by C. J. Rowe The Symposium is a complex piece which is perhaps as widely read as any of Plato's works apart from the Republic. However the existing standard commentaries in English do not offer much by way of help to any reader except the classicist who knows Greek; and they also tend to be light on the dialogue as a work of philosophy. This new edition aims to fill both gaps. As well as providing a new and accurate translation facing the Greek text, it ... Paperback. Price GB £18.00
	Plato: Statesman edited with an introduction, translation and commentary by C J Rowe~ Until now no English translation existed of the Statesman (one of Plato's central works on politics, and on much else besides) which was both accurate and usable: nor was there a modern commentary which would help the reader through the argument, which was, in some parts, likely to be inaccessible without a guide. This new edition fills both gaps, being aimed especially, like other volumes in the Aris &Phillips series of texts, at students ... Paperback. Price GB £18.00 Hardback.

	Plato: Phaedrus by C. J. Rowe The dating of the Phaedrus has been hotly debated: sometimes it has been counted among Plato's earliest works; sometimes with the dialogues of the 'middle' period (Phaedo, Symposium, Republic); sometimes with the late works (e.g. Sophist, Statesman). The safest and easiest hypothesis is that it stands somewhere between the latter two groups, in that it displays themes and preoccupations in common with both. Love, knowledge and the Forms, the ...

	Plutarch: Lives of Aristeides and Cato~ Plutarch's Lives have always attracted a large number of admirers, particularly because of his pragmatic concern with ethics and politics. But Plutarch intended his Lives to be read in pairs, an intention that is often ignored by those who treat these works as merely historical sources. This new text and translation provides the first commentary in English on the pair Aristeides and Cato. In addition to supplying commentary on historical, ... Paperback. Price GB £18.00 Hardback.

	Euripides: Bacchae With an introduction, translation and commentary by R. Seaford This is a commentary on Bacchae, by Euripides. It takes account of the studies made on the play since it was written, as well as the discoveries made about the cult of Dionysus. The author has already published widely on both the Bacchae and the Dionysus cult. This is the first English commentary on Euripides' fascinating play since that of E. R. Dodds in 1960. Includes discussion of recent scholarship and new research into the cult of Dionysus. ... Paperback. Price GB £18.00
	Plato: Meno~ edited with an introduction, Translation and Notes by R.W. Sharples Plato's Meno is the dialogue which more than any other occupies a transitional position between the early Socratic dialogues and the developed middle period theory of the Phaedo, Symposium and Republic. It is thus of particular interest for the insights that it gives us into the process by which Plato arrived at that theory. The issues which it raises are philosophically interesting in themselves: how can we know that we have the right answer to ... Paperback. Price GB £18.00
	Cicero: On Fate, with Boethius, Consolation V by R. W. Sharples Cicero and Boethius did more than anyone else to transmit the insights of Greek philosophy to the Latin culture of Western Europe which has played so influential a part in our civilisation to this day. Cicero's treatise On Fate, though surviving only in a fragmentary and mutilated state, records contributions to the discussion of a central philosophical issue, that of free will and determinism, which are comparable in importance to those of ...
