Reviews

"Hellenistic Sculpture II is lucid, accessible even for relative beginners in the field, fully and meticulously documented, well illustrated, and marked throughout with those characteristic insights that mark the work of a true authority. Ridgway leads the reader, step by step, through the labyrinthine arguments of previous scholars, presents new information relevant for a reinterpretation, and then outlines carefully the results, often producing a whole new way of seeing familiar works."—Richard Daniel De Puma, University of Iowa, series editor
