Septuagint and Greek as a sacred language

I've gotten into a discussion with someone on another list about the 
Septuagint and the Greek language.  I told the story of the 70 
scholars translating the Hebrew into Greek, and how, for Diaspora 
Jews, Greek was once considered a sacred language.  I was basically 
told that all of this is false by this person.  Rather than get into a 
debating contest, I was wondering if someone on b-greek could 
recommend scholarly book or two giving information on this subject?  
Thanks in advance.
