Reviews

Adventurous, highly sophisticated ... the probing intelligence, conceptual subtlety and interpretative ambition of this book ought to ensure it a wide and attentive readership.
*The Classical Review*

A remarkable contribution to both Homeric scholarship and scholarship on time in antiquity. It boldly reassesses the Homeric notion of kleos and reconsiders oralist and Neo-analytical scholarship in light of this.
