"This volume of translations has no English predecessor or foreign equal. B.P. Reardon has miraculously resurrected serious study of this oddly neglected literature."-- Choice "The translations, done by a variety of experts, aim at readability, and their effect is uniformly pleasing."-- The Classical World "This is the first collection in English of the various Greek novels. These collected translations, together with the scholarly introductions, form a most eloquent invitation to join the increasing group of students of the ancient Greek novels, and will be an indispensable tool for students as well as teachers."-- Mnemosyne "The value of this collection as a teaching tool cannot be underestimated.

It is to be hoped that the existence of all the ancient novels in competent modern translations will make possible the fuller study of these fascinating texts by theorists of the (modern) novel."-- Phoenix.
