Trade Review
"[Jouanna’s} book will give both classicists and general readers hours of pleasure. It is encyclopaedic, detailed, fascinating, readable and tremendous value for money."---Marion Gibbs, Classics for All
"

Regardless of its entanglements with democratic culture, Greek tragedy remains a nebulous,
shimmering planet just barely visible to the naked human eye. Immense imagination and enormous erudition seem requisite to approaching the greatness and complexity of Sophocles’ oeuvre. Jouanna has advanced the world’s understanding closer to this elusive goal.

"---Joel Aiden Schlosser, Polis, The Journal for Ancient Greek and Roman Political Thought (AGPT)
"A magnificent companion to Sophocles."---Jarsolav Danes, Eirene - Studia Graeca et Latina
