This is a sensitive and thoroughly researched approach ... Phillips' readings of such passages are learned, sensitive to Apollonius' contexts, and compelling in their own right. * Paul Ojennus, Bryn Mawr Classical Review *

This book presents us with an Argonautica that is fresh and different from the poem other critics have described, and it opens up new and promising ways of thinking about this complex work. Although his approach is in many respects formalist, P. goes beyond past formalist studies, and he discusses temporality in a distinctive way that departs from recent historicising readings, to reveal the many ways in which the Argonautica is productively 'untimely'. * WILLIAM G. THALMANN, The Classical Review * Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty. * M. J. Johnson, CHOICE * This is a sensitive and thoroughly researched approach ... Phillips' readings of such passages are learned, sensitive to Apollonius' contexts, and compelling in their own right. * Paul Ojennus, Bryn Mawr Classical Review *
