It would be a vain task to enumerate all the doctrinal elements in Ficino that can be traced to Orphic influence. The Neoplatonists had demonstrated that given the will and the ingenuity anything can be shown to be Orphic, and thus they emptied the exercise of much of its meaning.
— John Warden, "Orpheus and Ficino", in Orpheus: The Metamorphoses of a Myth, p. 92.

- The opening paragraph of Richard Janko's BMCR review (2007.03.31) of Vol. 1 of Most's new edition of Hesiod:
This book is a vital part of the project to replace the miserable and totally outdated Loeb edition of Hesiod and the Homeric Hymns by H. G. Evelyn-White (1914). Anything would have been better than that volume, but Most (M.) does a superior job. I particularly admired the prose translations of Hesiod’s verse, since they are accurate and readable while at the same time serving as a crutch for students; whether scholars like it or not, this one of the essential functions of the Loeb series. This book will constitute the standard text and translation of Hesiod for general use for many years to come. Despite one major and several smaller lapses, it deserves high praise; everyone will need to own a copy.
