Acknowledgements
There are a number of people to whom I wish to express my gratitude. My primary debt of
gratitude goes to my first supervisor, Professor Jerker Blomqvist, not only for encouraging
me to begin doctoral studies in Greek at Lund University but also for continually guiding and
supporting me during my work with this book. My second supervisor, Professor Karin
Blomqvist, has with her friendly aid, guide, and encouragement helped me bring the work to
an end. Both I and my work have benefited greatly from the interest, useful comments, and
constructive criticism we have received from you both. Thank you!
Further, I wish to express my gratitude to the members of the Greek seminar in Lund,
for their different contributions to my work, and the seminar of the ‘Athens Project’ under the
leadership of Professor Jerker Blomqvist. Special thanks to Dr. Karin Kulneff-Eriksson for
reading a substantial part of my manuscript and giving me many helpful remarks.
I also wish to thank the staff of the University Library in Lund for skilfully supplying
me with the necessary literature, which occasionally has been difficult to find, and Patricia
Wetterberg for correcting my English. For financial support, I am grateful to the foundation
of Hjalmar Gullberg and Greta Thott and to Riksbankens Jubileumsfond (The Bank of
Sweden Tercentenary Foundation) which sponsored the project ‘Athens as the Cultural
Metropolis of the Roman Empire’ of which this dissertation is a part.
Finally, Daniel, without you by my side I would not have had the strength to bring this
project to an end.
Kiitos myös perheelleni ja Maijalle. En osaa sanoa kuinka tärkeät kiinostuksenne ja
kannustuksenne ovat olleet tämän pitkän työni aikana.
Malmö, October 2005
