'This book contains much that is very interesting indeed, and it is no doubt a highly positive exercise to have brought together material from a very wide range of disciplines and a similarly wide range of academics: the contributors hail from institutions across the globe, including the USA, Britain, Italy, Ireland, Germany, Japan and France. There is impressive concision in many of the contributions, and as a result the volume is manageable in its length. (...) The book lives up to its promise of revealing the vitality of the classical tradition and it is indeed inspiring proof of the great debt owed to the ideas, creations and practices of ancient Greece and Rome.' (KATHARINE RADICE in The Classical Review (New Series), 2012, p.210).
