"A brilliant set of lectures that explored Greek cultural and intellectual encounters with Persians, Jews, Celts, and Romans. Momigliano’s acute and engaging insights into Greek constructs of the alien and the impact of those constructs upon the Greek themselves remain unsurpassed. Although sometimes truncated and elusive, they never fail to stimulate."
