That project promised the narratological investigationofnarrativeswhichareembeddedinnon-narrativegenres, notably the Euripidean messenger-speech, the myth of the Pindaric victory ode, and the narratio in forensic speeches. As it turned out, the Euripidean messenger-speeches offered such a wealth of material that I devoted an entire book to them. After that I returned to my ‘first love’ Homer. I revived my plan in 1995, when I applied to the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research for a ‘Pioneer grant’, i.e.,agrantforagroupofscholarsworkingonaninnovativesubject.By that time, the project had been re-christened Narrationis Ratio. A History of Ancient Greek Narrative, and, as this title suggests, expanded to include bothnarrative andnon-narrativegenres. In 1998the opportunitycame to fulfil my old dream, when I was awarded a professorship of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences, which included a modest budget. In September 1999 I organized a two-day workshop in Amsterdam, which brought together prospective contributors, and during which the principles and practical organization of the project were discussed. One of the conclusions was that it would be impossible to complete the task we had set ourselves in a single volume, and that a series of volumes would be needed. On that occasion I asked Angus Bowie to co-edit the first volume. But it was soon clear to me that editing a multi-author and conceptually and methodologically experimental work such as this was a huge task, and I asked René Nünlist to act as—a second—co-editor of the first volume and to becomeco-editoroftheseries asawhole. I wish to thank Heleen Keizer and Linda Woodward for their assis- tance in copy editing the texts. But my greatest thanks go to Michiel Klein Swormink of Brill Publishers for the trust he has shown in this trulypioneering project.
