Reviews

Consistently thoughtful and frequently quite useful, Philip Walsh's edited volume on the reception of Aristophanes, part of Brill's Companions to Classical Reception series, is a model of the form. (...) this book should be a touchstone for future work on Aristophanes in the longue duree. (...) This is a handsomely produced volume, enhanced by the colorful inclusion of nearly forty recent Lysistrata posters compiled by Mitchell, one of which also graces the cover. (...) Walsh's useful and engaging volume on the reception of Aristophanes is a testament to the maturity of the approach. A. C. Duncan, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2017.03.35
