WashU’s Bayla Kamens Receives Glowing Review for Co-Authored Greek Commentary

Washington University in St. Louis' Classics PhD candidate, Bayla Kamens, has received high praise in the Bryn Mawr Classical Review for their co-authored work, The Battle of Frogs and Mice / ΒΑΤΡΑΧΟΜΥΟΜΑΧΙΑ: Greek text with facing vocabulary, commentary, and illustrations. The review commends the edition as "an extremely helpful learning tool, aimed at allowing the intermediate student of Greek... to read this whimsical poem with minimal fuss." Kamens' collaboration with David Driscoll offers the mock Homeric epic, complete with accessible commentary and engaging illustrations. The authors have made the text freely available online, reflecting their dedication to making classical texts more accessible.
