Rezensionen

Recipient of a PROSE Awards 2013 Honorable Mention

"This collection punches well above the weight of most of similar editorial enterprises. D. E. has impressively succeeded in gathering a body of work that does justice both to the complexity of the material and the diversity of the scholarly debate . . . Readers will encounter, as a rule, reliable and often insightful overviews of complex problems, with plenty of engagement with the ancient evidence and invaluable bibliographical information." (Journal of Classics Teaching, 1 June 2013)
