"In sum, then, this volume offers a range of novel perspectives on archaic Greek epic, with many rewarding contributions. The individual articles cohere remarkably well, with a number of explicit cross-references between them, and the whole is well edited despite the occasional lingering typo.[4] Traditionally, the Iliad has received the bulk of scholarly attention in Homero-cyclic studies, but this collection highlights the riches still to be gained by exploring these issues through the lens of the Odyssey. Burgess should be heartily congratulated for pioneering this project, which will no doubt inspire further research into the shadowy connections between the epics of Homer and the Cycle." Thomas J. Nelson, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2020.03.32.
