<div>"These authoritative translations consign all other complete collections to the wastebasket."—Robert Brustein,<i>The New Republic</i><br /> <br /> "This is it. No qualifications. Go out and buy it everybody."—Kenneth Rexroth,<i>The Nation</i><br /> <br /> "The translations deliberately avoid the highly wrought and affectedly poetic; their idiom is contemporary....They have life and speed and suppleness of phrase."—<i>Times Education Supplement</i><br /> <br /> "These translations belong to our time. A keen poetic sensibility repeatedly quickens them; and without this inner fire the most academically flawless rendering is dead."—Warren D. Anderson,<i>American Oxonian</i><br /> <br /> "The critical commentaries and the versions themselves...are fresh, unpretentious, above all, functional."—<i>Commonweal</i><br /> <br /> "Grene is one of the great translators."—Conor Cruise O'Brien,<i>London Sunday Times</i><br /> <br /> "Richmond Lattimore is that rara avis in our age, the classical scholar who is at the same time an accomplished poet."—Dudley Fitts,<i>New York Times Book Review</i></div>
