Besides, it should also be part of every Homerist's library." -- Silvio Bär, University of Oslo , Classical Journal-Online

Apart from the essays themselves, the text includes a fine introduction by the editors, a standard index of names and subjects, and a robust 'Index Locorum Anitiquorum.' The result is an exemplary achievement, comprehensive and diverse, erudite enough to satisfy scholars yet readable enough to be accessible to ambitious nonspecialists-a companion that will find use among not only classicists but also those whose interests include comparative literature and poetry. Essential." -- CHOICE
