Avi Sharon is a professor of classics, translator and consultant.
He graduated from Emory University, and Boston University, with a Ph.D. in classics, where he studied under Donald Carne-Ross and William Arrowsmith.
He works on Wall Street,[6] and lives in Brooklyn, with his wife and two sons.
[7] Sharon has achieved an excellent balance, and certainly more so than other editors.
More advanced and extensive bibliographies, introductions and/or notes, however, are to be found in the Oxford World's Classics edition of Waterfield, in the SUNY edition of Cobb, and in the Hackett edition.
