Trade Review
"As this splendid collection demonstrates, our times are suited to an appreciation of Quintus of Smyrna's epic, What Came after Homer, which might be called The Iliad: A Modern Sequel (with a wink to Kazantzakis). This volume is unquestionably the best introduction to its originality and complex relation to the past." -David Konstan, Professor of Classics, New York University
