'I recommend the thoughtful introduction ... and laud the outrageous blend of hardest core philology and good humour that makes every page a joy to read. Dr Dawe has a merciless eye for nonsense in scholarly writing and an uncanny ability to turn a tragic Gestalt into a casual acquaintance.' William M. Calder III, The Classical Journal
