Trade Review
The most up-to-date, comprehensive, and synthetic treatment of the activity of viewing in the Hellenistic world. - Jon Steffen Bruss, The Classical Review ""No other book currently exists that so systematically attempts to unite evidence from art and poetry to construct a Hellenistic 'mode of viewing.' The originality of the work lies in the way it brings together material that is usually discussed in isolation."" - Alexander Sens, Georgetown University
