‘[B]eautifully produced... this book triumphantly completes the set
of “romans d’antiquité”: the stories of Thebes, Troy, and Aeneas.’
Jane Bliss, Speculum
‘The translations themselves combine the virtues of being usable as
a crib with being as fluent as is possible… If they encourage a
wider readership for these romances, as they surely will, that is
very much to the good.’ Helen Cooper, Archiv für das Studium der
neueren Sprachen und Literaturen
