Review Quotes: The publication of a Loeb Classical Library edition of the evidence for early Greek philosophy is a major event in classical scholarship... The editors and their assistants are to be commended for their exemplary execution of such a vast and difficult task. They have succeeded in producing what is far and away the best available edition of the texts of the early Greek philosophers with accompanying English translation.--John Palmer "Arion" (2/1/2018 12:00:00 AM)
