Reviews

The Annals of Quintus Ennius and the Italic Tradition offers a fascinating study of the language of the first hexametric epic in Rome. The parallels between phrases in the text and what would appear to be traditional Italian collocations are striking and offer sound evidence for what we might have expected but have not yet seen demonstrated fully: the inclusion of traditional Italian ritual phrases in a consciously Hellenizing narrative... I enjoyed and learned much in reading this fine monograph. -- James J. Clauss Bryn Mawr Classical Review
