Reviews

‘For an overall series of the entire corpus, including critical text, commentary, translation, and full introduction, all subsumed to one man’s intelligent analysis and wide-ranging scholarship, Sommerstein stands triumphantly alone. [...] Aristophanes is lucky to have so devoted, erudite, and witty a modern celebrant.’
Scholia

‘This work is a fine and unpretentious introduction to Aristophanic comedy.’
Journal of Hellenic Studies

'Sommerstein has exercised throughout the refreshing independence of judgement, backed by learning.’
