For my family

This book is a revised version of my Doctoral dissertation. I would like to thank the Department of Classics and Ancient History, the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, and Ustinov College at Durham University for providing me with financial support during my Ph.D. The final stages of research were carried out under the aegis of a large interdisciplinary project, directed by Prof. Barbara Graziosi at Durham University, generously funded by the European Research Council, and entitled Living Poets: A New Approach to Ancient Poetry : www.livingpoets.dur.ac.uk.

Prof. Barbara Graziosi has supervised my work with great competence, patience, and care, for which I will always be grateful to her. My second supervisor Prof. Johannes Haubold and Prof. Paola Ceccarelli read over my work and gave immensely useful advice during my Ph.D. Prof. Richard Hunter and Dr Ivana Petrovic examined my dissertation and offered several suggestions for improvement, which greatly helped me during the revision of my work.

I have benefitted from discussing my work with Giovanna Menci, who also shared with me the drafts of her editio princeps of P.Duk. inv. 665 while her work was in progress, and with the scholars who took part in the Kyklos teleconference (Harvard 2012) and the conference Conflict and Consensus in Early Hexameter Poetry (Durham 2012).

I would also like to thank David Speranzi and Filippomaria Pontani, who kindly offered comments on drafts of my section on Marcus Musurus, and with their expertise helped me improve it.
