Synopsis
DIV"These authoritative translations consign all other complete collections to the wastebasket."—Robert Brustein, iThe New Republic/iBRBR"This is it. No qualifications. Go out and buy it everybody."—Kenneth Rexroth, iThe Nation/iBRBR"The translations deliberately avoid the highly wrought and affectedly poetic; their idiom is contemporary....They have life and speed and suppleness of phrase."—iTimes Education Supplement/iBRBR"These translations belong to our time. A keen poetic sensibility repeatedly quickens them; and without this inner fire the most academically flawless rendering is dead."—Warren D. Anderson, iAmerican Oxonian/iBRBR"The critical commentaries and the versions themselves...are fresh, unpretentious, above all, functional."—iCommonweal/iBRBR"Grene is one of the great translators."—Conor Cruise O'Brien, iLondon Sunday Times/iBRBR"Richmond Lattimore is that rara avis in our age, the classical scholar who is at the same time an accomplished poet."—Dudley Fitts, iNew York Times Book Review/i/DIV
