Customer Reviews of Stoics, Epicureans and Sceptics: An Introduction to Hellenistic Philosophy
boring, discordent I didn't much care for this book. The famous chapters by topic sound simple enough but do cause some confusion--potent smatterings is the result in the main, which cannot hold my attention. If you are interested in Stoicism the most interesting comentary that I have found thus far is Sandbach's "The Stoics".
A scholarly book, but still accessible
Quite a short book (just over 100 pages of meat) but it covers a lot of ground. Mostly it is concerned with the Stoic and Epicurean schools, and it compares them on a topic by topic basis. The Sceptics are (unsurprisingly) pretty much confined to epistemology, but their critiques of Stoic and Epicurean positions are frequently cited and commented on. One advantage of classical philosophy over most modern stuff is that the terminology is much simpler. This book could be read without any background in philosophy.
All in all a pretty good read
