The Classical Press of Wales, an independent venture, was founded in 1993, initially to support the work of classicists and ancient historians in Wales and their collaborators from further afield. More recently it has published work initiated by scholars internationally. While retaining a special loyalty to Wales and the Celtic countries, the Press welcomes scholarly contributions from all parts of the world.

The symbol of the Press is the Red Kite. This bird, once widespread in Britain, was reduced by 1905 to some five individuals confined to a small area known as The Desert of Wales the upper Tywi valley. Geneticists report that the stock was saved from terminal inbreeding by the arrival of one stray female bird from Germany. After much careful protection, the Red Kite now thrives in Wales and beyond.

For Stephen and James

This project was started during my British academy Post-doctoral Fellowship hosted by Oriel College, Oxford, and both the British academy and Oriel College have continued to support it, particularly through the hospitality and kindness of Professor ernst nicholson of Oriel, and a British academy small research grant which allowed me to travel regularly to Oxford, and to visit the national archaeological museum in athens, and so to complete the monograph.

The bulk of the book, however, was written in exeter, and I owe a heavy debt of gratitude to colleagues for friendship and encouragement, and especially to stephen mitchell, John Wilkins, richard seaford and david Braund, who read and commented on drafts. Peter rhodes, robin Osborne, robert Parker and especially Chris Pelling also read the whole for me at various stages, and were generous with their time and their comments. in addition to all these, there are the many friends without whose kindness and support this book would not have seen the light of day, in particular Wendy maull, Jenny hocking, Caroline huxtable and shane Coombs. especial thanks, however, must go to my family, to stephen and to James. This book represents a poor return for the way in which they have cherished and cared for me, but I dedicate it to them, with thanks.
