«'This volume is an excellent addition to an excellent series.' The Classical Journal»
«'This excellent commentary by Seth Schein … deserves to become both a frequent point of reference for scholars and a welcome resource for teachers and their pupils. Undergraduate students reading the play with me this term have reacted very positively to the book, especially to its careful explanation of the Greek and its full discussion of the play's dramatic and literary qualities … Schein has thought hard about what his target audience needs, and the fruits of that thinking are everywhere palpable.'
