Outstanding. Had English, Greek, and dual text. The translation is superb, though the annotation is a bit rough if you want to use it as a reference.

A bit pithy but I enjoyed the discrepancies in what he thought was true and what really was true about science and history. Heavens but all they did was make war - it's amazing civilization survived at all. Again, I would not have sought this out in a library but my Kindle makes educating yourself - easy.

This is definitely NOT as described. It isn't the Complete Works, it is only the first six books, despite what the description says. It doesn't include the Trojan War nor the history of the Successors. Returned for a refund.
