A remarkable book, for its immense learning and interdisciplinary scope, for the originality of its approach, and for the new and subtle insights it repeatedly sheds on the texts it treats. Murrin is the first scholar-critic to examine systematically how epics represent warfare and how and to what extent these representations correspond to actual practices of combat in the contemporary world of their poets". -- David Quint, Yale University
