'In the second volume of the Sapere series Klauck provides text and German translation of Dio's 'Olympicus' (pp.44-107) with commentary (pp.108-59). This is preceded by introductions to Dio's life and works (pp.9-25) and the 'Olympicus' (pp.25-30), and an up-to-date bibliography (pp.31-43). The rest of the volume has K. discussing rhetorical and literary aspects of the speech (pp.160-86), and its philosophy of religion and theology (pp.186-216) together with an essay by Babler on the statue of Zeus at Olympia (pp.217-38). In two ways this book is especially welcome. In general, it should act as a stimulus to study of Dio by German students (...). In specific, Bäbler's essay points the way to study of the 'literary geography' of Dio: both space within Dio's works and places of reception.' `(HARRY SIDEBOTTOM in The Classical Review (New Series, 2002, pp.45-46). From the library of the late Professor Doktor Nikolaus Himmelmann.
