Indeed, the editorial philosophy of the Loeb series is to be readable and avoid literalness, since those who care about the literal words are able to consult the facing Greek/Latin text.Bernd Strauss wrote: ↑December 28th, 2017, 5:54 pm Thank you. Older translations are often less accurate than the newer.
