Reviews

Mulroy has produced a clear, accessible, poetic version and as such offers a good alternative to current prose translations and freer verse translations. - Robert Littman, translator of The Theban Plays [Agamemnon] could well become the standard text for students of classics in English, as pre-reading for those attempting the difficult Greek, and possibly as an acting version. . . . It is the best this reviewer has come across. - Classics for All The sheer elegance and beauty of Mulroy's verses [of Agamemnon] deserve the highest praise. - Ex Class A great work of world literature has at last become a great poem in English. Mulroy's translation [of Oedipus Rex] is far superior to other available English verse translations. - Robert J. Rabel
