For that reason the first person whom we, the editorial team, should like to include in our acknowledgement is the honorand himself. As his former students and present colleagues, all three of us have experienced Mogens’ approachability and enthusiasm at close quarters. Even while still undergraduates we knew that a knock at his door would never be resented, and that he would always be ready to answer our questions, be they trivial or intricate. As a colleague and director of the Copenhagen Polis Centre he is providing a stimulating working environment, which is also full of personal warmth. One thing is certain: working with Mogens on a daily basis may be a breath-taking experience at umes; but it is never dull. Above all, we should like to thank Mogens for being not only an inspiring teacher, scholar and colleague but also a generous and faithful friend, who is always there for those who need him. Thus we offer him this Festschnft as a small token of our appreciation of his kindness and unfailing loyalty as a friend. The themes of the present volume, Polis and Politics, represent Mogens’ two main areas of research; and the wide range of questions addressed by the individual chapters is in itself a testimony to the range of Mogens’ own scholar- ship. Moreover, the number of participants in this project reflects Mogens’ qualities as a colleague who, throughout his career, has managed to combine a high level of professional activity with an outstanding willingness to help and to collaborate with others. Mogens’ own kindness and generosity is un- doubtedly one important reason why we as editors have been met with a similar warmth, kindness, and helpful attitude from all the persons who have agreed to contribute to the Festschnft in his honour. All have been very receptive to suggestions from our referees; and we should like to express our gratitude to all the authors, whose collaborative spirit and patience have made the job of editing this Festschrift a very pleasurable one. Numerous people have offered us invaluable assistance at various stages of the editorial process. We owe our greatest debt to Prof. T.V. Buttrey, Prof. P.J. Rhodes and Dr. M.B. Richardson for their generous support, without which this project could hardly have succeeded. We have also drawn extensively on the expertise of the following scholars: Prof. A.L. Boegehold, Prof. J. Buckler, Prof. J.M. Camp, Prof. C. Carey, Prof. P.A. Cartledge, Prof. J.A. Crook, 10 CONTENTS forskningslektor, mag. art. T. Fischer-Hansen, cand. phil. R. Frederiksen, Dr. V.

We should also like to thank Museum Tusculanum Press, and in particular Marianne Alenius and Ole Klitgaard. This volume would not have come into being, had it not been for the enthusiasm that they have shown right from the beginning. Finally, we gratefully acknowledge the financial assistance given by the Krista & Viggo Petersens Fond; the Tuborg Foundation; and a Foundation which has made an anonymous grant. P.F.-]. T.H.N. L.R.
