Reviews for Tragedies
Slavitt's ability is clearly in evidence... These translations are rendered in lucid, contemporary English, bringing before us the atrocities, horrors, and grotesqueries of Imperial Rome. Classical Outlook Slavitt's translation is... lively and sometimes witty. Times Literary Supplement A good, sensational Senecan read. Queen's Quarterly
