David Braund is Emeritus Professor of Classics at the University of Exeter. An internationally acclaimed authority on the ancient Black Sea, his books include Georgia in Antiquity: A History of Colchis and Transcaucasian Iberia, 550 BC–AD 562 (Oxford University Press, 1994) and Greek Religion and Cults in the Black Sea Region: Goddesses in the Bosporan Kingdom from the Archaic Period to the Byzantine Era (Cambridge University Press, 2018).

'David Braund, in his rich and robust treatment of the topic, is throughout aware of the deficiencies of the extant ancient written sources and doesn't make the mistake of telling us what they would or should have said. He retells versions of ancient myths extremely well. He is particularly strong on the gender and sexuality dimensions of his subject. And he correctly sees and shows that the Amazons were fundamental to the Athenians' identity. This is a powerful and important study of an eternally fascinating and culturally significant subject.' Paul Cartledge, Emeritus A. G. Leventis Professor of Greek Culture, University of Cambridge, author of The Spartans: An Epic History and of Thermopylae: The Battle that Changed the World
