"[Tracy's] imagination is so rich -- and so clearly articulated -- that he manages to make Homer's epic understandable to a modern audience that, like the ancient Greeks, has grown tired of constantly being at war. Tracy's wry, sarcastic writing also contains some golden comic moments." - George Heymont, The Huffington Post

"impressively staged… delivered with panache" - Robert Avila, The San Francisco Bay Guardian
