Acknowledgments
Many people have influenced this project and helped me in numerous ways, sometimes without knowing that they have been helpful. I began this project with my friend and colleague Eve DAmbra. Kara Hattersley-Smith and Lee Ripley-Greenfield encouraged us to write a textbook of Greek and Roman art. Our project eventually changed, and I proceeded on my own with a different aim and with Cambridge University Press, but that initial work with Eve our discussions, exchange of ideas, and of texts stimulated my thinking and have contributed to the focus of the present book. I am grateful to her for this and for our friendship, which means a great deal to me.
It is a pleasure to thank Iphigeneia Leventis and Jerry Rutter, who generously gave of their time to read and comment on portions of this text; I am especially grateful to the latter, who saved me from many mistakes about the Bronze Age material.
Discussions about the subject, as well as textbook presentation of the same, with Aileen Ajootian, Nancy Bookides, Leda Costaki, Sheila Dillon, Jeff Hurwit, Jenifer Neils, Jerry Pollitt, Carola Reinsberg, David Scahill, Andy Stewart, Marek We cowski, and Mark Wilson-Jones shaped and improved this text considerably. Nicola Nenci helped me to obtain materials, and the University of Edinburgh kindly supported me with finances for research, travel, and photographs. The staff of Cambridge University Press was helpful in obtaining photos and dealing with paperwork matters. Beatrice Rehl offered wise counsel, enthusiasm, and support from beginning to end. My thanks to them all.
