"A refreshing insistence on translating each line of Greek in one line of English blank verse, avoiding any expansion of the original. The result is fluent, immediate, and read-
able."

- H.M. Roisman
in Choice Reviews, March 2009

"A remarkably fresh and clear translation. As deceptively simple as an Attic frieze, it is at once true to its ancient original and inviting to readers today."

- Luc Sante, author of Low Life, The Factory of Facts, and translator of Félix Fénéon's Novels in Three Lines.

"An inspiration to all scholars of Greek. A highly recommended literary creation for an educated public."

- Calum Maciver in Bryn Mawr Classical Review, January 15, 2009
