I cant get enough of Greek and Roman history. I was therefore looking forward to this narration. Unfortunately, although the reading is as far as I can tell historically accurate, the narration itself is punctilious, almost haughty. When a narrator draws more attention to his prissy pronunciation than to the content of his reading, I am, as they say, outta here.
