Pressezitat
"The work presents a well-balanced structure and a clearly defined goal [...] the case made by this little book sheds a new light on the author's previous scholarship on the topic, considering the developments in literary theory after the publication of his contribution in 1974. The texts that Conte uses to validate his arguments are carefully selected, and make his case cogent, not least thanks to his unrivalled philological sharpness and analytical skills."Giulia Fanti in: Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2018.06.42
