Reviews

Powell's muscular verses are faithful to the original Greek but bring the characters to life. This is a page-turner, bound to become the new standard translation. * Ian Morris, Stanford University * Barry Powell's clever translation is simple and energetic: sometimes coarse, sometimes flowing, it is always poetically engaged. * Margalit Finkleberg, University of Tel Aviv * Critical acclaim for Barry B. Powell: Powell's style is individual and self-assured, and his lines cry out to be read aloud. * Denis Feeney, Princeton University *
