Reviews
Thankfully, these dozen essays transcend the tired questions (from the late 18th-century onward) of Aristophanes' politics that subjected the playwright to the historical equivalent of Gallup polling. Provocative and nuanced, most of them succeed in showing, by contrast, how the dramatist embodies and enacts a public role: Aristophanes is politics. Richard Martin in BMCR 2021.04.36

Alem disso, algumas das colaboracoes apostam manifestamente em perspetivas e interpretacoes inovadoras sobretudo quando estao em causa pecas concretas. A leitura deste estudo criativo e inovador sobre uma materia que necessita, em funcao da propria evolucao da experiencia social humana, de uma constante revisao, e certamente da maior valia para todos os que se rendem ao encanto das comedias de Aristofanes.'' Maria de Fatima Silva in Cadmo 2021.
