Reviews

This edition is everything we could have expected, given the sterling qualities Olson has already shown in his edition of Peace...and it fully merits the company it keeps in the Clarendon series with, for example, Dover's Clouds of 1968 and Dunbar's Birds of 1995. --Bryn Mawr Classical Review<br>

`Review from previous edition Review from other book by this author (Aristophanes (Peace ) O.'s commentary, while it shows fine all-round scholarship, ... is particularly strong on economic and social matters.' Alan Sommerstein, Journal of Hellenic Studies `(Aristophanes (Peace ) This edition will prompt fresh interest in a play that has been comparatively neglected - undeservedly, as it now seems.' Jeffrey Henderson, Religious Studies Review `(Aristophanes (Peace ) the Greek text is masterfully edited and for the first time based on a complete recension of the manuscripts; the comentary is richly informative on everything from the play's dramatic form and technique to its social and policital contexts.' Jeffrey Henderson, Religious Studies Review `excellent ... impressive coverage of linguistic, historical, and cultural aspects of the play ... a prodigious amount of information and good judgement.' Greece & Rome
