Reviews
"The author has perfectly mastered the material under investigation and, even when speaking of allusions in the Homeric text to other myths, she does not generally force the interpretation in an attempt to establish improbable chronologies. ... it is easy to appreciate Graziosi's clarity of presentation and ability to offer precise and brief definitions ... the book constitutes not only an accurate critical evaluation of Homeric studies for the benefit of scholars, but also a valuable and accessible introduction to the subject for non-specialist readers." --Carmine Pisano, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

"Graziosi's stimulating account of that resonance in such a short, up-to-date and readable book makes this the perfect introduction to Homer." - William Fitzgerald, Times Literary Supplement
