Polyaenus\' translation by R. Shepard
#1
Just a tip guys... for all of you who want to read Polyaenus, stay away from this translation! It is criminally flawed, misleading and incomplete. "Troy" was truer to Homer's masterpiece than this work is to the real text of Polyaenus. I just felt the need to warn you since I saw that it was the only translation readily available on the net (at least the only one I came across) and I am sure that many of you who cannot read Ancient Greek have made the mistake to read this 200+ year old crap...

Please.. grab yourself a newer, better edition and read the whole darn thing again... The mistakes are really shocking!
