The Sea! the Sea!: The Shout of the Ten Thousand in the Modern Imagination - Brossura

'In 'The Sea! The Sea!' the British classical scholar Tim Rood has assembled a huge collection of ways in which Xenophon's words have, as he says, 'twisted and played' in the modern imagination ... triumphant' -- Peter Stothard, Wall Street Journal. 'an unusual and fascinating book ... delightfully compelling' -- Eric Ormsby, New York Sun. 'so enjoyable to read ... takes an honourable place among studies of that perenially fascinating theme, the reinterpretation by the modern world of ancient Greece' --Tom Holland, Times Literary Supplement

'There will be no reader, I confidently predict, who won't be taken aback at the sheer variety of Xenophon's heritage ... and who won't be delighted by the highways and byways of such a journey' --Simon Goldhill, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

'a real tour de force of readable scholarship ... he tells a story that is excitingly enjoyable and displays ... the fruits of impressively wide and profound scholarship' --Anglo-Hellenic Review

Tim Rood is Fellow and Tutor in Classics at St Hugh's College, Oxford.
