Reviews

Review from previous edition ...stimulating and successful...The author's approach to the texts is sound and his arguments lucidly developed. ...a relevant contribution to the studies on tragic concepts about moral inheritance, and will be useful both to students of Greek tragedy and to scholars interested in broader religious and philosophic questions. Enrico Medda BMCR
