Comments on: Review of Graf/Johnston, Bacchic Gold Tablets http://www.currentepigraphy.org/2007/10/14/review-of-grafjohnston-bacchic-gold-tablets/ ISSN 1754-0909 (Online) Wed, 07 Jan 2009 05:14:57 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Gabriel Bodard http://www.currentepigraphy.org/2007/10/14/review-of-grafjohnston-bacchic-gold-tablets/#comment-2165 Gabriel Bodard Wed, 24 Oct 2007 10:27:55 +0000 http://www.currentepigraphy.org/2007/10/14/review-of-grafjohnston-bacchic-gold-tablets/#comment-2165 There has been a second review of this volume in the same journal, by Radcliffe G. Edmonds III, Bryn Mawr College (and one of the editors of BMCR). This is largely a more positive review, with the exception of Edmonds' labelling of the chapter on the myth of Dionysus Zagreus as "the most flawed" for its simplistic assumption of a single date for the bricolage collection. I'm not sure how this ended up being reviewed twice, but the two reviewers seem to have had rather different agendas, so it made for an interesting comparison.
