During its long gestation period, the volume has benefitted greatly from the help and support of a number of people. It is my delightful duty, first and foremost, to thank wholeheartedly all contributors for their hard work and the pleasant collaboration. My warmest thanks also go to Hilary OShea, the commissioning editor at OUP who invited me to put together this volume, to Charlotte Loveridge, who took over its supervision in the process, and to Alexander Johnson, Jenny King, and Georgina Leighton for their kind and most professional guidance along the way.
The initial proposal for this book has been improved considerably thanks to the suggestions and comments of the referees at OUP. My thoughts on ancient life-writing have further been enriched by stimulating discussions with Kristoffel Demoen, Stephen Harrison, Irene de Jong, Wolfgang de Melo, Chris Pelling, Danny Praet, and Tim Whitmarsh. For editorial assistance, I thank Pauline De Groote, Lotte Van Olmen, and Robbe Van de Velde. Special thanks go to Evelien Bracke, who joined the project during its final stage and has provided indispensable and characteristically efficient practical and editorial support; and to Susan Dunsmore for copy-editing.
Finally, a warm note of gratitude and love goes to my parents, Ignace and Linda, to Lieselot, and to Jacob and Isaac. To them the story of my own life owes its vividness and delight.

In academic education, biography courses are quite frequent these days. Ancient biography has become the object of research and teaching not only in many Classics departments, but also in literary studies, philosophy, and history departmentsand in high school curricula in some countries. Given its function as a broad introduction and a reference tool, on the one hand, and its ambition to move beyond the state-of-the-art on the other, this Handbook will, I hope, be of interest to a variety of readers. First, to newcomers in the field such as undergraduate students, who can use individual chapters for orientation, for inspiration for productive insights and/or as introductory aids to their own research. Second, to more advanced, graduate students, academic specialists, scholars, and researchers working on ancient literature in general and ancient biography in particular. I hope that academic faculty will find the volume helpful for their teaching too. And, third, to a broad range of students and scholars who work in related disciplines and/or study other periods or literatures and all have reason to hark back to ancient biographical narrative: scholars in religious studies, reception studies, medieval, Renaissance and post-Renaissance life-writing, etc.
