In many respects this collection of papers is intended to complementthosevolumesbyassemblingsomeoftheseminalworks onwhichcontemporaryOvidianstudieshavebeenbased. In preparing this book for publication I was aided by two able assistants,CourtneyRobyandMichelleSoufl,whosetechnicalexper- tise and keener eyes proved invaluable in translating the original publications into a new format. At an early stage Barbara Boyd, StephenHinds,andCaroleNewlandsrespondedgenerouslytopleas forcounsel;theanonymousreadersforthePressalsoprovidedmany helpfulsuggestions.Iamgratefultothecontributorstothisbookfor checkingandrevisingthedigitizedversionsoftheirpapers. The final stages of assembling this volume were completed while I was a Visiting Fellow at that locus amoenus for classicists, Corpus ChristiCollegeinOxford,withthesupportofafellowshipfromthe Loeb Classical Library Foundation.
