Editorial Reviews

Review

"[This] book is provocative, original, subtle, and scholarly, and offers important general lessons about the functioning of Athenian myth, religion, literature, and culture.... This translation ... will certainly help more people to see ... why Loraux has achieved `classic status' in [her field]."---Simon Goldhill, Bryn Mawr Classical Review

"A manifesto for a historian's reading of myths in their civic contexts." ― L'Histoire

". . . continues to occupy a central and provocative place in current discussion. . . . The text is also admirably lucid and pleasant to read. . . . The Children of Athena may be read with profit by anyone. To those who have not encountered it, I recommend it highly."---Charles W. Hedrick, Jr., Journal of the History of Sexuality

"This is a great book of the historian's imagination, of the capacity to imagine how the players of a long-gone civilization thought and reacted.... [A] brilliant book." ― Quinzaine LittŽraire
