A stimulating book, of interest to those who deal with the visual as well as to those who deal with the verbal aspects of ancient Greece. What we have here are the reworked texts of papers delivered at a conference organised in March 1999 to mark the establishment in Edinburgh of a biennial Visiting Research Professorship in Greek funded by the Leventis Foundation. The first holder was B.A. Sparkes. Many of the authors are scholars as distinguished as Sparkes himself. We eagerly await subsequent conferences and their publication in this series. Essays here address important and highly debatable issues ! each contributor has valid and valuable things to say Word and Image has much to offer students of classical art and art history ... its essays raise many interesting ideas.
