Reviews

Maciver's book is to be commended for its methodological freshness, patient pursuit of intratextual parallels and his resourceful approach to Quintus' interaction with Homer, both unmediated and through the prisms of Callimachus, Virgil and the Homeric scholia, among others. It is a welcome addition to scholarship on imperial Greek epic and will particularly attract readers interested in the reception of Homer, Greek and Latin epic and late antique aesthetics. Laura Miguelez-Cavero in BMCR, 18.04.2013 Insgesamt ist das Buch eine sehr anregende Lekture. Durchgehend ist der Wunsch zu spuren, dass dem Gedicht die ihm gebuhrende Anerkennung erwiesen werde; hierzu hat Maciver sicherlich einen wertvollen Beitrag geleistet. Ursula Gartner, Gnomon 87, 2015.
