Brill's Companion to the Reception of Sophocles

"This collection is a wonderful volume, because it presents a complex approach, studying the reception of Sophoclean plays up until recent years. The book is useful for researchers, interested in a specific topic, but it is particularly useful for beginners, because all the papers analyse their materials, sources and adaptations exhaustively, without omitting arguments and ideas that are essential." - Sonia Francisetti Brolin, in: Eisodos, Autumn 2018
