We follow Richmond Lattimore’s spellings of the names of Homeric characters (kappa is k; chi is ch), but opt for Athena, not Athene. We Latinize the names of (familiar) ancient authors (Herodotus) and an- cient scholars (Aristarchus, Zenodotus). We transliterate the names of historical fi gures (Megakles, Nikeratos, Perikles) and the names of ac- tual places (Skepsis), although we retain the familiar spellings of certain places (Cyprus, Syracuse). All of this is aspirational, and inconsistencies likely remain. vii RReeaaddyy__66667799--ffiinnaall..iinnddbb vviiii 44//2233//1188 44::1188 PPMM THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK Acknowledgments W e thank Jim Burr, Nancy Bryan, Lynne Chap- man, and the other members of the team at the Univer- sity of Texas Press for their guidance in bringing this project to fruition.
