Book review: Finding Persephone

"[This] volume spans nearly a millennium of the Greco-Roman world. It offers a snapshot of the best work in a burgeoning subfield. Especially welcome is the fresh attention paid to issues of female agency, local differentiation in cult practices, and the precise literary, material, and socio-political contexts of our evidence." —Journal of Folklore Research

Book review: Basic Concepts of Aristotelian Philosophy

"This set of lectures from 1924 offers a refreshing and productive picture of Aristotle. ...Heidegger opens up possibilities in these lectures for reading philosophy and for putting our thought in touch with the concrete." —Philosophy in Review

Book review: Basic Concepts of Aristotelian Philosophy

Book Review: Ancient Greek Lyrics

"With the work of more than seventy poets from the Greek, Hellenistic, Byzantine, and Roman periods, the distinguished translator Willis Barnstone offers us a very rich selection. ...William E. McCulloh’s fine introduction traces the development of the Greek lyric, while Barnstone’s notes on the poets provide valuable contexts. It is hard to conceive of a more satisfying anthology than this, but the still unsatisfied can consult the Loeb Library volumes." —ForeWord Magazine
