Media reviews

"The Hemlock Cup is another vibrant and atmospheric work from this well-known promotor of the ancient world."
—Michael Scott, BBC History Magazine

"In The Hemlock Cup Bettany Hughes does a very good job of recreating the material world in which Socrates lived... She is up to date on recent archaeological discoveries... she writes frankly of the nastiness of the world in which Socrates grew up and lived."
—Mary Beard, Sunday Times
