Page ix PREFACE Individual expressions of thanks accompany several essays. I would here like to recognize more general obligations of gratitude. The first is a longstanding debt to my students and to many colleagues at Brown and in the profession. I owe special thanks to William Wyatt, for advice on Homer, to Matthew Santirocco, for his encouragement to make this gathering in the first place, to Joseph Pucci, for casting a keen eye on segments of the final manuscript, and to Kenneth Reckford, for support in this project as in much else. Anthony Hollingsworth offered both time and computer expertise at a crucial moment. Many other friends and family members have been generous in a variety of ways. My thanks go especially to Leonard Barkan, Charles and Polly Chatfield, Kenneth Gaulin, Rachel Jacoff, Daniel Javitch, Pietro Pucci, Charles Segal, and Eugene Vance. It is a pleasure also to recognize here the careful copyediting of Brian MacDonald. Second, I must acknowledge two institutions of higher learning with which I have been privileged to be associated. Several of these essays found their genesis during a most enriching year spent at the Institute for Advanced Study. I would like to thank my fellow Members for 1987-88 and especially Professor Glen Bowersock for many kindnesses and for erudition unstintingly shared. It remains also to recognize yet again the American Academy in Rome, where splendid library and setting without peer combine to offer the scholar a remarkable haven. Ille terrarum mihi praeter omnis angulus ridet. With the exception of "Wrathful Aeneas and the Tactics of Pietas," which was written for this volume, all the papers here collected have been published previously. Aside from chapter 11, "Virgil's Tragic Future," whose original has been condensed, any alterations from the initial publication have been essentially cosmetic. I am grateful to the editors of journals or volumes where the essays originally appeared for permission to reprint.
