"I found Eck’s detective work intriguing, Edmondson’s metaphors convincing, and Wilson’s potted history of the monogram delightful. Nevertheless, it is the more personal sections of this volume that are the most successful, both artistically and intellectually. The memories shared by Fagan’s friends and colleagues, and his own contribution, are full of affection and humour. Meanwhile, in the three reflective chapters, Gatzke, Lendon, and Rogers make strong cases for the importance of a number of themes arising from Fagan’s work that glint through in the other contributions." - Amy Russell, Brown University, in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2021.07.03''C’est à bon droit qu’est souligné le caractère pionnier de ses recherches et la diversité des sujets abordés montre l’étendue de sa curiosité et des pistes qu’il a ouvertes pour de futures recherches.'' - Catherine Wolff, in: Latomus 80.4 (Dec. 2021)
