I had high hopes because I love Greco-Roman stuff, and probably would’ve minored in Classics if I could’ve. My main complaint stems from the fact that this book was organized thematically rather than chronologically, which made for a lot of meandering and repetition. I also was a little confused by and skeptical of the seemingly arbitrary decision as to which primary/secondary sources were considered credible (as evidenced by the unexplained mix of rebuttal, qualification, subjunctive tense, and straight past tense), and honestly the whole thing just felt kind of self-indulgent. Ultimately, this book was just way too long.
