Recensioner i media

"Insgesamt ist der Companion sehr zu empfehlen: Einsteiger auf dem Gebiet der Horazforschung oder der augusteischen Dichtung, für die alle Zitate auch in Übersetzung angeführt sind, werden eine verläßliche Orientierung zu den verschiedenen Gattungen sowie zu fast allen Gedichten finden; aber auch Kenner der Materie werden zahlreiche neue und stimulierende Einblicke gewinnen können." Johannes Breuer, Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2013.12.09
