One of the achievements of the Archive of Performances of Greek and Roman Drama (APGRD), founded in 1996 by Edith Hall and Oliver Taplin at Oxford University, is its focus since 2000 on these epic performances on the European stage. The current volume is the result of its three-year research program 'Performing Epic,' which was supported by the Leverhulme fund. The volume was co-edited by APGRD director Fiona MacIntosh, Stephen Harrison, the Archive's researcher Claire Kenward, and Justine McConnell, who is well-known for her work on the reception of Greek drama. It contains no fewer than 36 contributions from various scholars, and with more than 600 pages is quite an impressive outcome of the research program, which aimed to collect the reception of Greek and Roman epic across all performance genres from the Middle Ages into the 21st century. One important goal of the Archive´s research was to embrace the reception of epic literature in any performance medium, so that it includes not only reception in obvious genres like theatre or opera, but also adaptations in dance, film, and radio.
