"In Peter Green, Apollonois has found the ideal translator and editor. Greens credentials in poetic translation are impressive: the stunningly witty version of Ovid's elegiac couplet's in 'The Erotic Poems' (1982), a volume followed by the sadder 'Poems of Exile' (1994), and preceded by the hexameters of Juvenal's 'Satires' (1967). All three of these books contain, besides the verse translation, a brilliant and informative introduction as well as a full commentary which, besides, elucidating references and allusions for the illatinate reader, also commands the attention of scholars by its forceful and sometimes controversial interpretation."Rhodius, Apollonius is the author of 'Argonautika The Story of Jason and the Quest for the Golden Fleece', published 1997 under ISBN 9780520076877 and ISBN 0520076877.
