Trade Review
"Ultimately, the book's greatest merit may lie . . . in his [Edmunds'] broad horizons--in his delight at discovering similarities between classical literature and the tales and experiences of people across the globe."---Barbara Graziosi, Times Higher Education
"Edmunds brings to this rich, sophisticated book an innovative approach to the Helen story: he looks at it with a comparative eye." * Choice *
"An excellent, important book in both its methodology and data. . . . Edmunds has brought about a leap of quality in understanding the myth of Helen."---Ephraim Nissan, Fabula
"A weighty contribution to the study of Helen as well as the study of folklore in ancient Greece."---Ryan Platte, Journal of Hellenic Studies
