"Niall Slater’s edited volume Voice and Voices in Antiquity considers the simultaneously present and absent sonority of the voices of antiquity, and it probes the relationship between orality, vocality, and text. The book emerges during a vibrant moment for voice studies in Classics, and functions as the eleventh installment in the thriving biennial conference series “Orality and Literacy in the Ancient World,” whose first volume/conference tackled the theme “Voice into Text.” Each of the chapters in this volume contains nuanced and sophisticated readings in a wide range of genres, periods, and cultural traditions.(...) Slater’s overview of the individual essays reveals a deep consideration of the multifaceted ways in which this theme can be explored, and his introduction reveals how the individual papers speak to one another across languages, genres, eras, and methodologies."

"The theme of this volume, 'voice and voices', offers a particularly fruitful opportunity to explore the significance of 'voice' as it crosses the boundaries between oral and literate cultures. (...) Overall, this is an excellent volume that makes several important contributions to our understanding of voice in Greek literature. There is much here to explore, and it is well worth the exploring."
