Web Archive Review of Menander, The Bad-Tempered Man (Dyskolos), edited, with translation and commentary by Stanley Ireland. Reviewed by John R. Porter in Didaskalia 3.1.

"The translation is fluid and generally true to the spirit of the Greek. Ireland has a talent for the well-turned phrase that nicely captures the sense of the original, but he does not attempt a strictly literal rendering."

Reviewed by Heinz-Gunther Nesselrath, BMCR 96.4.6.

Reviewed by Wilfred E. Major, BMCR 99.3.8.

"Anyone, scholar, student, teacher, or conscientious and curious reader, faces a daunting if not impossible task in determining where Menander ends and modern interpolation begins in this volume. The translation has line numbers corresponding only to the translation itself, with no correspondence to any other line numbering system anywhere."Selection from Sheila D'Atri's translation of The Grouch (Dysocos)
