This 'book' sullies the good name of Greek scholarship. That the other academics involved allowed themselves to appear in a book with Simon Goldhill should cause us to scorn and dimiss them - from their jobs, should they repeat this offence.
His filthy chapter is offensive, unpleasant, depraved, and yet somehow also excruciatingly boring - almost coma-inducingly so. Every word drips with the bearded contempt he has for women, for Greeks, for life itself.
This book does not only sully the name of Greek scholarship - it sullies the good name of drivel. It plumbs new depths for the human species. I beg you not to buy it, ever.
For the Greeks, for those who have gone, and for yourselves: just say, "Goldhill: never!" We must fight him in our lecture halls, we must fight him in our libraries, and we must never surrender.
If we resist him now, if we defeat this menace, then even if Greek scholarship lasts for a thousand years, people will still say: this was our finest hour.
So, criticise him within this framework - as a failed academic and a failed human being. But don't make accusations about his political outlook which cannot be derived from his scholarship. Unless Mr Seddon knows something we don't?
