"Grillo’s thoughtful selections and lucid translations are accompanied by the original Greek and Latin texts as well as his informative commentary. . . . I never thought I’d be able to combine my career in Latin with my growing interest in finance and investing. Then again, I never thought I’d be interested in the difference between a 401(k) and a 403(b)."鈥擠aniel Gallagher, Wall Street Journal
