- Its uniquely broad coverage gives a real sense of the breadth and potential of Hellenic Studies
- A one-stop reference point for a wide range of queries
- Inspires direct engagement with the original sources
- Provides comprehensive guidance in areas such as epigraphy, numismatics, and manuscript studies, enabling new lines of enquiry
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.Readership: Scholars and students of classics and Hellenic studies.
