Re: Ptolemy's army at Gaza
There's an extract from 'Lost Battles' on Prof Sabin's homepage, with downloads including a chapter about Hydaspes & the cyberboard (incompatible with Macs) for those of you who are interested - Philip encourages links to his web pages, not the separate files.

Re: Alcibiades. Need info.
And of course there is also Paul Levinson's The Plot to save Socrates (where Socrates isn't saved, but the consolation is an affair with Alkibaides)... Given a choice between this & the Pressfield, I'd pick this, mainly because it is meant to be amusing. Phaedo, best of luck with the Alkibiades ...

Re: Alcibiades. Need info.
If you can bear to read more fictional Alkibiades try the following:
The Eye of Cybele by Daniel Chavarriá
Achilles his Armour by Peter Green
and the two "young adult" novels:
The Road to Sardis by Stephanie Plowman
The Flowers of Adonis by Rosemary Sutcliffe.
*enjoy*

I'm off to Greece on 1 June for my annual wander on the mainland, and can recommend the following, some from personal experience: Nafplio - I've stayed for some year at Pension Helen - parking is very close by, which is a bonus in the Old Town. Her son runs Hotel Byron, one of the beautiful boutique...

I fear this will be regarded as a frivolous post - & I have no excuse, other than it is Friday... I noticed a line in a Telegraph on-line article - "Kate Winslet, nominated for best actress, chose an elegant, pale green chiffon gown by Valentino, which featured a trailing scarf panel traili...

Off the top of my head I can only think of a couple - there's so much modern battlefield stuff, that it swamps the ancient stuff -but I'm sure there's more! There's Fields of Conflict: Battlefied Archaeology from the Roman Empire to the Korean War , ed. Douglas Scott - but that doesn't help us! Anci...
