A C K N O W L E D G M E N T S· · · This book has been many years in the making with the result that I owe debts to a large number of people, who have helped me in various ways over more than a decade of thinking and writing about memory and oblivion. Here I would like to make special mention of the following: John Bodel, Glen Bowersock , Corey Brennan, Richard Brilliant, John Graham, Rudolf Haensch, Robert Kaster, John Ma, Maria Mitchell, Robert Palmer, Michael Peachin, David Potter, Brian Rose, Ann Macy Roth, Brent Shaw, Richard Talbert, and Eric Varner. I have been very lucky to have had the opportunity to work in the very supportive environments of the Classics Departments at Franklin and Marshall College and at Princeton University. For help with editing I owe a great debt to Judith Chien. For assistance with the illustrations I am very grateful to Luca Grillo and Susan Satterfield. The original drawings were made by Leslie Rae Witt. Mary Shelly of the Shadek Fackenthal Library at Franklin and Marshall College and Rebecka Lindau of the Firestone Library at Princeton University provided invaluable assistance with bibliographical issues. I gave lectures on some of the material in this book in the following places: Franklin and Marshall College, Princeton University, the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, Yale University, Brown University, Northwestern University, Columbia University, Cornell University, the University of Pennsylvania , the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Duke University, and as a Loeb lecturer at Harvard University. I am very grateful both for these invitations to speak and for the questions and issues raised by members of the audience in each place. I received significant financial support from the following institutions: Franklin and Marshall College, the Magie Fund of the Department of Classics at Princeton University, the Princeton University Committee on Research in the Humanities and Social Sciences, the Institute for Advanced Study (Princeton ) where I was a member for 2001–2, and the National Endowment for the Humanities, which granted me a summer stipend in 1999 and a year fellow- ship for 2001–2. Without their support, this research project would not have been possible. I would like to thank all my family for their encouragement and support over the years, especially Grandmaus, Isabel, and Rosalind. This book is dedicated to my husband Michael, my best friend and most valuable colleague. Princeton, New Jersey May 2006 xxiv Acknowledgments ...
