This book does a great job of doing something sorely lacking in popular academia – and that’s provide a focus only on Ancient Corinth. But this is a very short book – 79 pages, including illustrations and references – and while it does go through a good range of sources, it never really goes into anything to any real depth. Additionally, there’s no sense of theme, narrative, or speculation – merely, superficial facts. In the end, it feels more like a series of Wikipedia articles than anything else, hence why my review score may seem rather harsh. Even still, as a very basic introduction to Corinth it serves its purpose.
