Reviews

The book is wide-ranging and thoroughly researched, and displays a strong grasp of the history of Homeric scholarship ... Solms has melded two disparate topics well, and interdisciplinary work like this certainly enriches the field.
*The Classical Review*

This is a work which uses an original approach between essay and catalogue, and is fascinating in its transposition of Homeric art onto the language of contemporary sculpture.
