As the literature of Classical Antiquity expands with frightening rapidity, no one person can be expert in all its areas.An authoritative guide, therefore, becomes essential and this book, with its grand title, prestigious imprint and compiled by an historian of ideas, is claimed to be just this.It deals with general surveys of the period, and then with ancient philosophy, science, aesthetics, and religion.No attempt can be made here to assess areas other than that dealing with the history of medicine, but, unfortunately, the contents of this section do not encourage us to place much reliance on those of the others.Thus on one page (p. 104)there are at least eleven errors: "Garrison and Morrison", the contents of which are described in a very peculiar way; C.
