Description

Bumping to 1 corner and edge of rear board. DJ spine a bit sunned. Sticker stain to front panel of DJ. Some shelfwear to DJ. ; Argues that the hostile picture of Dionysius that has come down to us, ultimately popularised in the negative account of Dionysius' arch-foe, the third century BC historian, Timaeus of Tauromenium, is basically Athenian, deriving from Athenian political circles engaged in propaganda aimed at tarnishing the tyrant's reputation. ; 189 pages
