Martha L. Rose is Professor of History, Truman State University.
"Martha Rose presents a well-researched study of physical
disability in ancient Greece. Not only does the book further our
awareness of issues related to the body and its care, but it also
helps to dispel misunderstood perceptions of disability in the
past."

History" (1/1/2006 12:00:00 AM)
". . . a valuable contribution to the study of ancient Greece, in
that it makes the reader apprehend Greek history from the point of
view of a disabled/non-disabled perspective."

". . . an intriguing account of the way the Greeks viewed handicap.
. . . All in all, the book is a fascinating and clearly argued
account of an unusual aspect of life in the ancient world."

"A break-through book, The Staff of Oedipus exposes regnant myths
about disability that have been passed along as if true for
hundreds of years."
