A second century Greek official of Alexandria, Appian wrote twenty-four books of ‘Roman History’, eleven of which have survived complete.

Delphi’s Ancient Classics series provides eReaders with the wisdom of the Classical world, with both English translations and the original Greek texts. This comprehensive eBook presents Appian’s complete extant works, with beautiful illustrations, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing resource never before available outside major libraries
Reviewed in the United States on August 3, 2023

The Delphi collection is an incredible dream come true for scholars outside major cities. I began my scholarly career in the mid-seventies. Excellent secondary resources were relatively available but outside of Penguin ancient literature was accessible to a very few and Penguin is only a translation. In the 90’s during my Ph.D. at Vanderbilt University, I used CD-Rom to research ancient authors in the original languages but only through word searches. I knew there was a large amount of minor authors but they were accessible only by grants to go to the institutions that had the original documents. Now through Delphi a vast amount of primary sources are available in the original languages, something I never dream of especially when I had to work on my family’s extremely isolated ranch in MT. I collected a large number of Loeb’s but still only well known authors. Through Delphi I have a library of ancient sources better than any university except 5 or 6 major universities in the States. There is a caveat: the translations are generally from the 19th centaurs and often very poorly done. The Greek and Latin texts are from single manuscripts and often from late medieval manuscripts meaning for reputable scholarly paper should not use Delphi and grants and travel may still be necessary but they are great to become familiar with actual sources I had only seen before in footnotes.

The Delphi collection of classical works constitute a readily accessible and inexpensive personal bibliotheca. You can fill you Kindle with volume after volume and create a veritable Library of Alexandria in electronic media. The faults are in its massiveness. Many of the texts have no index - - - too many words to catalogue perhaps? The Appian collection is impressive in that you get both a translation and then also a complete offering of the original Greek text (for those who still cherish working in the original lingua). If you are searching for a particular letter or essay, it can be frustrating plowing through the table of contents unless you have some fore knowledge of when it was originally written. Well organized, indeed, but a little short on supporting details.
