'Like all Pickard-Cambridge's work, this book makes an immediate and lasting impression of good taste and good sense, as well as a profound knowledge of the texts, the works of art, and the views of other scholars. Here, as nowhere else, we have all the evidence - literary, epigraphic, and monumental - set out in convenient form. (...) No difficulty is glossed over, no conclusion is overstated; every allowance is made for possible differences of opinion.' (W. BEARE in The Classical Review (New Series), 1954, p.225).
