A delight to read. All Greek is translated clearly ... and Mossman's language throughout is refreshingly jargon-free and lucid.

JACT Review

Deserves its accolades ... well-written, well-argued and shows scholarly integrity.

American Journal of Philology

A judicious, sane and carefully conceived book ... yeilds many insights into this often problemic tragedy, and both students and teachers will find [it] fruitful reading.

Bryn Mawr Classical Review

A book-length literary study of a single tragedy is a comparatively rare phenomenon. When undertaken by a critic as clear-sighted and undogmatic as Mossman, it is a valuable undertaking ... The book contains a series of finely-nuanced discussions, and is carefully structured.
