Media Reviews
Slavitt's ability is clearly in evidence... These translations are rendered in lucid, contemporary English, bringing before us the atrocities, horrors, and grotesqueries of Imperial Rome. * Classical Outlook *
Slavitt's translation is... lively and sometimes witty. * Times Literary Supplement *
A good, sensational Senecan read. * Queen's Quarterly *
