Critical acclaim for Barry B. Powell: "Powell's style is individual and self-assured, and his lines cry out to be read aloud."--Denis Feeney, Princeton University"Barry Powell's clever translation is simple and energetic: sometimes coarse, sometimes flowing, it is always poetically engaged."--Margalit Finkleberg, University of Tel Aviv"Powell's muscular verses are faithful to the original Greek but bring the characters to life. This is a page-turner, bound to become the new standard translation."--Ian Morris, Stanford University, Critical acclaim for Barry B.

It was not notated in the auction, and seller does not accept returns, nor did they respond to my request to pick item up and avoid shipping costs.Lake CX239 Road Bike Shoes - White/White Clarino, Size 48 (Nr. 116715595045)
