Industry Reviews

?Whether the student has a good grasp of the language, or little (even none), they will find this an invaluable source book and study aid. It will help students of classical literature to understand the context and content of ancient Greek drama more thoroughly and more productively. Although not stated as an aim of the book, it will also help students of related subjects who need some instruction in or background to ancient Greek drama.? (Reference Reviews, 1 October 2014)
