Reviews

Philostratus: Interpreters and Interpetation is a stimulating, focused and coherent first book and first contribution to a new series. It should, as the author hopes with a traditional envoi in his last paragraph, happily encourage further research in an important area of understanding the Greek culture of the Roman Empire. - Simon Goldhill, University of Cambridge, UK, Byrn Mawr Classical Review 2018
