Reviews
"An amazing and interesting body of work."--School Library Journal

"Provides both a wealth of classical verse and a delight through variations in translation....This once-in-a-generation scholarly work should be acquired by both public and academic libraries."--Choice

"Lovers of the classics and English poetry will happily lose themselves in this book for hours on end."--Booklist

"A new anthology of classical verse in translation is greatly to be welcomed. This Oxford book will deservedly attract many superlatives...this handsome volume will be much to read and enjoyed but not bettered for years to come. A veritable feast."--The Anglo-Hellenic Review

"This anthology is proof that interest in the classical tradition has survived a period of radical scepticism...it is an anthology for the kind of people who normally despise anthologies."--Church Times
