Professor Lattimore, holding closely to the original metres, has
produced renderings of great power and beauty. His feeling for the
telling noun and verb, the simple yet poignant epithet, and the
dramatic turn of syntax is marked. He has completely freed the
poems from sentimentality, and the thrilling ancient
names--Anacreon, Alcaeus, Simonides, Sappho--acquire fresh
brilliance and vitality under his hand.--Louise Bogan, The New
Yorker
The significant quality of Mr. Lattimore's versions is that they
are pure. The lenses he provides are as clear as our language is
capable of making them.--Moses Hadas, N.Y. Herald Tribune
