PANOUSSI, V., Vergil's 'Aeneid' and Greek Tragedy. Ritual, Empire, and Intertext. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge (...), 2013. XIII,257p. Paperback. ‘Vassiliki Panoussi’s book fills a gap in the scholarship on Vergil’s epic. While a considerable amount has been published on Vergi’s ‘Aeneid’ and its intertext with Greek tragedy, P. claims her book is ‘the first systematic, book-length study of the role of tragedy in the poem.’ (…) The merits (…) of ‘Greek Tragedy in Vergil’s ‘Aeneid’ (…) far outweigh any shortcomings. P.’s book is generally a well-organized model of clarity of purpose and clarity of expression. This book, thought-provoking and pleasurable to read, will likely open up dialogue on Vergil and tragedy for a new generation. She provides ample support from primary Greek and Latin sources as well as bountiful support from secondary sources. Since she cites primary texts in the original Greek and Latin and offers her own translations of all citations, her book will be useful not only for Vergil scholars but also for students in Classical Studies, Comparative Literature, English, and the Humanities. Well-written, informative footnotes not only provide reference but continue discussions begun in the main text. The full bibliography will be useful to the scholar and student alike. Readers of Vergi and readers of Greek tragedy, classicists and students of the Classical Tradition will enjoy and learn much from this work.’ (TIMOTHY WUTRICH in Vergilius, 1999, pp.126-131).? € 26.00 (New) ISBN: 9781107639089
