Acknowledgments
Many acknowledgments conclude by thanking friends without whose assistance the book wouldnever have been finished. I must begin with the admission that but for certain friends' initiative,this book would never have been started. My first and deepest debt is to the Sather Committeeand the Department of Classics of the University of California, Berkeley, who, in inviting me togive the Sather Classical Lectures for 1984/85, made me the kind of offer that, whatever thetrepidation it induces, one does not refuse. The invitation came with several years' notice; yetdespite some feverish thought over the intervening period about what I should say, I arrived inCalifornia in late August 1984 in a state of unpreparedness. It was then that I needed, andreceived, the unstinting encouragement of friends on all sides, among whom I must single out thechairman of the department, Leslie Threatte, together with Jock Anderson, CrawfordGreenewalt, Andrew Stewart, and Ronald Stroud. Presently I was joined by my wife Annemarie,who had just suffered the heaviest of blows in the death of her much-loved mother, Maria Künzl,but who also provided whole-hearted support at a critical stage. The benevolent climate of Berkeley, both literal and figurative, did the rest: the warm hospitality of colleagues in andbeyond the Department of Classics and the stimulus given by the students in my
x
graduate class were constantly inspiriting, and I benefited from the encouragement of lecture andseminar audiences in Santa Cruz, Stanford, San Jose, Davis, Los Angeles, Malibu, andVancouver and Victoria, B.C. I had also enjoyed a helpful correspondence with Lucia Nixon inAthens, some of whose fruits have materialized in the opening pages of chapter 4; and I wouldsingle out the special generosity of Hamish Forbes, Hans-Volkmar Herrmann, and MervynPopham, who have allowed me to reproduce here versions of plans not previously published.To these acknowledgments I must add a sincere expression of gratitude to the DeutschesArchäologisches Institut, Berlin, and its President, Prof. Dr. Edmund Buchner, whose generoushospitality in the spring of 1985 gave me a precious month of leisure, unavailable in Berkeleyand unthinkable in Cambridge, to set about writing a final draft of the book. To all of them, andto many other colleagues in Cambridge, California, Paris, and Berlin with whom I discussedsome of the ideas here presented, I owe a debt greater than any that this book could discharge.A.
