The papers of the compelling conference held in&nbsp;Nottingham&nbsp;in&nbsp;1998 are now available in volume 6 of the series NCLS (Nottingham Classical Literature Studies) by Levante Editori. This is a very important book for all who are interested in better understanding an unfortunately often-neglected topic,&nbsp;Monsters and Monstrosity in Greek and Roman Culture.&nbsp;In fact, despite the enormous bibliography on each specific monster, not much has been said until now about what a monster is, what it represents and why it is “good to think with”.&nbsp;Five recognized British scholars (Ray J. Clare, Alan H.&nbsp;Sommerstein, Ismene Lada-Richards, Richard Buxton and Ken Dowden)&nbsp;analyse&nbsp;and apply modern interpretation to different themes dealing with the main topic in order to reach an answer that is probably fated to remain not univocal.&nbsp;
