Recensioner i media

"The reader will surely find useful and insightful comparative material in all the essays." (Bryn Mawr Classical Review, February 2011) "I would recommend this volume both for scholars of epic and heroic literature (especially if they have interests in comparative literature or in questions of orality and historicity), who will no doubt enjoy its generally succinct essays with pertinent bibliography for each tradition." (Bmcreview, 9 February 2011) "Essential. Graduate students and researches." (Choice, October 2010)
