<DIV><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>
