Douglas E. Gerber is Fox Professor of Classical Studies, University of Western Ontario.
Gerber’s texts and general scholarship, including helpful notes,
are fully up-to-date, his presentation is lucid... and his
translations are neat and accurate, as well as faithful to, for
example, the obscenity of iambos (the era of euphemistic Loebs is
over). These volumes form a fine complement to Campbell's Greek
Lyric set; they deserve to be widely used.
*Greece and Rome*
Gerber has distilled an impressive amount of scholarship. That
feat, together with the excellence of his translations, makes these
volumes among the most distinguished of those recently issued.
*Phoenix*
