Review
'Philip de May's English version, which compares rather well with other currently available translations, is no mere crib but a powerful and actable text in its own right. The speeches and dialogue flow beautifully, and in the lyric passages his language sensitively reflects the metrical alternations in the original...Judging by the quality of this little volume (issued, it must be said, at an exemplary low price), school and college libraries will do well to take out a subscription to the whole series.' London Association of Classical Teachers
