Reviews

"Anyone who deals with the Greco-Iranian East since the later Achaemenids (amongst whom the reviewer counts himself) will find a work by Jan P. Stronk that brings together almost all the testimonies handed down by Diodorus and presents them as appealingly as knowledgeably. It is highly valuable for the future research in this field.--Martin Schottky ""Anabasis"" 'This much-needed and timely work is a model of its kind and a testament to the author's massive erudition and good judgement.' -- ""John Dillery, Professor of Classics, University of Virginia"""
