Review:
If he can do it again at Bristol Phoenix Press, it will be an incredible achievement. The start is auspicious. Not many books on the Odyssey provide such fun. Tim Whitmarsh has provided an excellent, brief introduction to set the work in context. * JACT Journal of Classics Teaching Autumn *
