A well-executed and stimulating production* Classical Review *
An excellent 48-page general introduction… The translation… is close to the Greek and reads fluently and well. All in all this is an excellent little volume. * Greece and Rome *
Both experts and generalists will benefit from the work of this experienced Euripidean scholar. -- John E. Thorburn * Religious Studies Review *
