""Essay after essay conveys the excitement of research into the ancient world, showing that nothing is settled, that there are always new questions and new ideas. The essays are lively and provocative, making representative use of source material and enticing readers to enter into the debate themselves ... There is little to criticise in this volume ... This 'Companion' titillates the reader into thinking about Latin literature in excitingly new ways."" Scholia Reviews ""An invaluable source of assistance and instruction for students."" Reference Reviews ""I can warmly recommend this book,
