Three fur- ther volumes in the series are in preparation: on authorship and authority in Greek lyric poetry, on the reception and transmission of Greek lyric poetry from 600bc to 400ad, and on the newest Sappho fragments published in 2014 (P. Sapph. Obbink and P. GC inv. 105). The Network was founded in 2007 as a means of facilitating interaction between scholars interested in the study of archaic and classical lyric, elegiac, and iambic poetry. Most of the papers included here were originally presented at the first open conference of the Network, held on 17th–20th July 2009 at the European Cultural Centre of Del- phi. This was funded by the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (nwo) and Stanford University, and organised by Anastasia-Erasmia Peponi and Richard Martin. Theirs was the choice of theme, the formulation of the call for papers, and the initial selection of abstracts. The publication of the vol- ume was then planned by them jointly with André Lardinois and the papers underwent a process of peer reviewing at the hands of the ‘core members’ of the network as well as an anonymous reviewer for the Press. The final process of shaping the volume and editing the typescript for submission was under- taken by Vanessa Cazzato and André Lardinois, one of the network’s founders and the initiator of the series. Two students, Hendri Dekker and Marieke Grau- mans, helped with the preparation of the index. We would like to thank the Faculty of Arts of Radboud University for providing the funds which enabled this volume to be made available through Open Access. V.C. A.L.
