Critic reviews

"In the front of all poetry stands the poetry of [ancient Greece], and in its foremost rank stand the epics of Homer." (Andrew Lang, Homer and the Epic)
"The drum and violin music that punctuates the episodes is splendid, evoking that which is ancient, menacing, and tragic." ( Washington Post)
