Description: Cambridge, Cambridge University Press. 1946, 1st UK Edition. Hardcover. Book, "Nicanor's story is an attempt to picture life in the great days of a great war.. The raw materials of my book are the cold lucid pages of Thucydides, who owned gold mines and who wrote history; the pamphlets of Plato who was a humanist, but who has a charm which is unique; the plays of Aristophanes the poet, which are inspired ed with that prophetic instinct which is the great gift of the comic Muse; and last the turgid pages of the egregious Xenophon." 359p.
