Reviews
'...this volume demonstrates that scholarship on the ancient narrative is strongly debated and continues to grow in new and fascinating directions.'
John Hilton, Scholia Reviews, 2004.
"Il est clair que cet ouvrage constitue une pièce maîtresse pour la recherche sur le roman antique. II témoigne certes de la faveur nouvelle dont jouit actuellement ce genre littéraire, longtemps délaissé parce que jugé mineur, mais aussi de la qualité des érudits qui s’y intéressent et de la vitalité des Groningen Colloquia dont l’honneur revient à M. Zimmerman."
