Acknowledgements
We would like to thank all scholars who participated in the international conference that took place at University College London in 2014 and from which this book originates, as well as the following for their generous support of the event: University College London, Department of Greek and Latin (A. G. Leventis Fund), the Classical Association, the Institute of Classical Studies, and King’s College London. Our warm thanks also go to Edith Hall with whom we co-organised the conference, and to Gesine Manuwald (Head of the Department of Greek and Latin at UCL) for having supported the project. Many thanks are also due to Brill Academic Publishers, and especially Gera van Bedaf for her patient support throughout, and the anonymous reviewer for their useful suggestions, and last but not least, to Katherine McHugh, PhD candidate at UCL, for her editorial assistance.
