Along the way, I have accrued many debts of grati- tudetoagreatmany peopleandinstitutions. MyWrstandgreatestthanksareowedtomydoctoralsupervisors, StephenHeyworthandOliverLyne,whosehelp,patience,andabun- dant learning have been invaluable to me, both during the produc- tion of the thesis and afterwards. Their contributions are too numerous to mention; suYce it to say that their inXuence pervades the whole work, both in the larger structures and ideas, and in the details. OnlyacoupleofmonthsafterIdeliveredtheWnishedmanuscript toOxfordUniversityPress,Oliverdiedveryunexpectedlywhileathis house in Italy for the Easter vacation. I will always miss him—his sharpintelligence,hisgenerosity,hishumour—andwillalwayscon- sider myself fortunate in the extreme to have been his student, colleague,andfriendforsomanyyears. IamverygratefultomyD.Phil.examiners,StephenHarrisonand Maria Wyke, for their constructive criticism and suggestions for other avenues to pursue. Stephen has continued to be generous in sharingideasandoVeringsupporteversince.ThanksalsogotoEdith Hall, for her much valued assistance with my Masters dissertation manyyearsago,andforherongoinginterestinmyprogress.Again,I amgratefultootherswhohavehelpedwithvariouspartsofthebook over the years: Richard Buxton, Denis Feeney, Rolando Ferri, (the late)DonFowler,andMatthewLeigh. LlewelynMorgan,asmyacademicadviserappointedbythePress, has oVered many useful suggestions and plenty of encouragement (and has nobly suVered the slings and arrows of being asked for endless letters of reference during the process of applying for jobs which accompanied the revision of this book). I would also like to vi Preface thank Dorothy McCarthy, Hilary O’Shea, and Enid Barker for their invaluableinput. Jasper GriYn, Michael Comber, and Kinch Hoekstra also played an indirect, butimportant, role in shaping this book.As myunder- graduate tutors Wrst and, later, my colleagues and friends, their advice, assistance, and inspiration has been a formative part of my academic development. Michael sadly died while I was in the later stages of revising the book, so he never had the chance to see the Wnishedversion.I’mnotsosurethathewouldhavelikedit—there’s far too much Ovid here for his tastes—but I would have enjoyed hearing hisverdictanyway,expressedinhisinimitablestyle. TheArtsandHumanitiesResearchBoardgavemeagrantfor the duration of my graduate studies (1997–2001), for which I am duly grateful. Thanks also to the Craven Committee (at Oxford Univer- sity), who gave me a grant in 1999 to spend Wve months in Italy thinking and reading about Cretan women. (And thanks to the library of the Scuola Normale in Pisa, where I spent almost every dayofthosemonths.)Thebulkofthetransformationfromthesisto bookwasachievedduringmysecondyearasDysonJuniorResearch Fellow inClassicalCultureatBalliolCollegeOxford.Iwouldliketo thankBalliolmostwarmlybothforthatmuch-valuedresearchtime, andforallthehelpandsupportoVeredinitspreviousincarnationas myundergraduateandgraduatealmamater. Finally, thanks to my friends and family for putting up with me andlisteningtomyendlessramblingsaboutbestialityandothersuch joys. Here I might single out a few: Rebecca Hughes and Matthew Robinson, who, as fellow Classicists, have oVered both cups of tea and insights into Latin poetry; Grace Koh, who was my housemate formuchofthetimeIwaswritingmythesis,andsoborethebruntof the inevitable printer failures and crises of conWdence; my mother, Judith,whohasalwaysencouragedmetodowhatinterestsme;and, especially,PaulTracey,whoismuch,muchnicerthananyofthemen I’vewrittenaboutinthisbook.
