Editorial Reviews

"It is a rich store of information and sure to be long-lasting. Everyone who uses it - and that will be everyone who pays close attention to Birds from now on - will have ample cause for gratitude....Her work is unquestionably a contribution of the highest significance, timely and thoroughly professional."Bryn Mawr Classical Review

"The commentary elucidates with an expert's knowledge syntax, meter, and artifacts. The book is as well a permanent contribution to our knowledge of Attic birds....The volume is the best and will remain authoritative for generations. We can only be grateful."—Religious Studies Review
