- Edited by A. Chaniotis
"Taken together, the papers in this volume offer a stimulating introduction to the potential of studying the night as a venue for historical action and as a literary trope in Greek and Roman society. . . these papers make clear that there is much more work to be done on many more topics related to the Night than those treated here, including ancient star-gazing, divine incubation, and other actions and events shrouded by the darkness. As Chaniotis reminds us, 'the sum of night stories does not constitute a history of the night.'" --Scott G. Bruce, Fordham University, Bryn Mawr Classical Review, 2019.07.52
