Title: big drag
Product review: "big book, big drag" quipped callimachus some two millenia ago. Though I don't always share his dislike of literary largeness, in this case his words ring cruelly trueThe quality of the translations is overall quite poor. That is, one can't tell what is being said. The footnotes don't clear things up, and the introductory notes are often as not simply fatuous. Cyril Branch's anthology from Columbia, though not great, is worlds better than this shoddy magnum opus.
