Recenzii

"En verdad logra este Companion su pretensión de proveer ayuda y estímulo para explorar el corpus cómico griego. Acoge todos los aspectos de la comedia griega, los performativos, los textuales (filológicos, ecdóticos, literarios, lingüísticos) y los socio- históricos. Aunque el griego no aparece transliterado, las traducciones al inglés permiten el acceso a quienes tengan escaso conocimiento de la lengua griega antigua. Es un libro insoslayable para el estudio de la comedia griega, el primero en su género y difícil será de superar." Claudia N. Fernández in Sehepunkte, Ausgabe 11 (2011), Nr. 3

"[...] the contributors to this immensely learned companion will command the attention of both their professional colleagues and the advancing students of classical literature. The thirteen specialists, far from scripting a lengthy rehearsal of hackneyed arguments, have written perceptive and innovative (in certain cases even slightly controversial) introductions to their subjects, while at the same time offering arresting reassessments of important aspects of Greek Comedy. This heavy volume deserves every bit of shelf space it will occupy. Andreas Markantonatos in BMCR, 2011.11.45
