'… Seaman's book presents a fresh, stimulating, and captivating reading. The breadth of her argument – one that bridges the boundaries of literary and historical studies, archaeology, art history, and, to a certain degree, cultural anthropology – provides what appears to be one of the richest, most articulate, and immersive surveys of Hellenistic imagery. The book is beautifully illustrated, with many black-and-white figures and color plates that assist the reader in following Seaman's arguments and descriptions.' Lucrezia Mastropietro, CAA Reviews
