Relazione
The essays are remarkable for the consistency of the authors views despite the variousness of themes and topics...The readings themselves are sensitive and rewarding, neatly organized, and are at their best when they bring out interesting textures in the Homeric corpus primarily through techniques of close reading. James I. Porter, Exemplaria Classica
