About this ebook series

Writing toward the end of what is called the Second Sophistic era, about 60-230 CE, Philostratus, through a character he creates, claims to tell a truer and more accurate account of the Trojan War than Homer. Maclean (religion, Roanoke College) and Aitken (New Testament, Harvard Divinity School) provide an easy-to-read translation, notes on the language and history, and an index. The Society of Biblical Literature publishes the book and distributes the paperbound edition; Brill distributes the clothbound edition (ISBN 90-04-12701-1). Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
