Acknowledgments

We have many people to thank, the most prominent of whom are our colleagues Piero Garofalo (Italian, UNH) and Christopher Gregg (Art History, GMU), who gave us valuable guidance on several chapters. In addition, we are grateful to the John C. Rouman Classical Lecture Series for several grants that supported the work in these pages, as well as the Dion Janetos Fund for Hellenic Studies, which subsidized the building of our index. We also wish to thank the Office of the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and the Office of the Provost at the University of New Hampshire for their support, including two sabbatical periods. The Undergraduate Research Team of the UNH Greek Myth Lab contributed to this work in sundry but important ways. Finally, we are tremendously grateful to our contributors who, despite past and current challenges, responded with outstanding scholarship that will doubtlessly frame future work in this field.
