- The 16 essays of this volume are offered in tribute to the esteemed classicist Nick Fisher (Cardiff U.), whose chief areas of research centered on social behavior in ancient Greece. Well-illustrated with b&w plates, the essays engage with topics that include why a hunting dog might be named hybris, Solon's reform of justice, the influence of memory and the local environment upon citizen formation, and the social dynamics of the navy. The contributors include many senior scholars in the field. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
