Trade Review
"This is a big and ambitious volume, beautifully written by one of the leading new voices in the field of Greek visual art. From its rich and challenging introduction on the theory of interpretation to its brilliant reading of the Tyrranicides, this work is unlike any other in its field." - James I. Porter, University of California, Irvine"
