Book Reviews by Dennis Clark 1953-2024

Review of Tiziano Dorandi (ed.), L’antre des nymphes dans l’Odyssée

The International Journal of the Platonic Tradition, 2022

The Cave has attracted attention as the first extant work, albeit rather brief, of European literary criticism, and is one of three compositions that have come down from Porphyry on Homer. From a more scholarly viewpoint the Cave stands also as a main textual source for the cult of Mithras. An ideal edition would thus address in its commentary those two aspects of the work. Happily, this new publication has succeeded admirably in serving the needs of both the literary-minded and the scholarly readership.
