Recenzje

This is a valuable addition to Quintus studies, and indispensable for scholars of book 14 and for those who are more generally interested in the relation of the Posthomerica with the Odyssey, Aeneid or Greek and Roman tragedy. As much as a user-friendly tool for readers of Posthomerica 14, this book provides new, original insights in the study of Quintus's poetics; food for thought for — hopefully — many future studies.
