The Oxford Handbook of Hellenic Studies is a unique collection of some seventy articles which together explore the ways in which ancient Greece has been, is, and might be studied. It is intended to inform its readers, but also, importantly, to inspire them, and to enable them to pursue their own research by introducing the primary resources and exploring the latest agenda for their study. The emphasis is on the breadth and potential of Hellenic Studies as a flourishing and exciting intellectual arena, and also upon its relevance to the way we think about ourselves today.

5.0 out of 5 stars Deepen your knowledge of the Hellenic world
Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2014
Verified Purchase
Oxford handbooks are designed to give you breadth and depth in a field where you already know the lay of the land. This book would be a terrible place to begin your study of ancient Greece. But if you already know a thing or two, its many articles will enrich your knowledge immeasurably. It's a bargain at list price.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great starting point for understanding Greek history
Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2017
A great collection of essays on how the study of Ancient Greece has developed over time. Certainly not the beginner's guide to the story of Greece, or a bedtime read with Homeric shock-and-awe appeal; but if one is interested in getting deeper into what we actually do know, and where that knowledge is coming from (sources, methodology, approaches and reception), this is an invaluable starting point. It served me and my students very well.

1.0 out of 5 stars An example of why history is no longer taken seriously
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2010
Thank God I was introduced to real history and Greek history by Will Durant as a teenager. If the authors of this book had been my introduction, it would have setback or ruined my love affair with Clio. Good Heavens! I have rarely read such pendantic, dry, and self-indulgent twaddle in my life. One of the most exciting fields in all of history these professional historians make impenetrable to even the educated reader with dense and lifeless prose addressing fields of minute specialization as they talk only to each other with their clever insider references.
There is a despressing lack of enthusiasm for the subject in the authors' prose as well which is instantly communicated to the reader. The prose is in the lifeless style of Marxist analysis. The reader never gets the impression that the Hellenes were flesh and blood human beings. Having been an analyst of Soviet affairs for twenty-five years I am all too familiar with that style.
These so-called scholars have also abandoned history as a practical art that provides lessons and guidance to those who struggle to preserve their liberties, not unlike the use made of it by our Founding Fathers which is why they are still called Founding Fathers.
No wonder the teaching of history has fallen on such hard times. This book should be marketed as a cure for insomnia or as a handy door stop.
