This book is based on the papers delivered at a well-attended conference called Nostoi: Traditions about Mediterranean Settlement, held in the beautiful Old Library of All Souls College, Oxford, on 67 May 2016. The core meaning of the ancient Greek word nostoi () is returns, frequently understood as the successful, partial, or failed returns of mythical Greek heroes from the Trojan War. The Greek word and its cognates are examined in the Introduction, below, section 2, and we explain our spelling policy (why and how we use both and nostoi, and when we capitalize) at p. 1.
We are grateful to the Warden and Fellows of All Souls College for generous funding of the conference, and for hospitality during it. One of the speakers at the conference is not directly represented among the chapters below: Robert Parker, whose Concluding Remarks have been of great value in the writing of the Introduction. But since it aims to act on his suggestions, especially by addressing topics covered insufficiently or not at all during the conference, he and we agreed that he would not contribute further. We also thank all those who attended the conference and contributed to the lively discussions after each paper, and above all we thank the speakers and now chapter-authors for their contributions, and their cheerful cooperation in the editorial process. We are grateful to Cathy Morgan in particular for good advice at the stage of conference planning. Finally, thanks to Georgina Leighton at OUP for help of various sorts, and to Ben Harris for careful and valuable copy-editing.
The book is dedicated to the memory of an inspiring, adventurous, and at that same time scrupulously exact scholar: Martin West, OM, FBA, who had, about a month before his sudden death in July 2015, agreed to deliver a paper at the Nostoi conference to be held in his own college.
