Three volumes in this series have already been published: The Look of Lyric: Greek Song and the Visual, eds. V. Cazzato and A. Lardinois; The Newest Sappho, eds. A. Bierl and A. Lardi- nois; and Authorship and Greek Song, ed. E.J. Bakker. Two more volumes are in preparation: one on the reception and transmission of Greek lyric poetry from 600BCE to 400CE, and another on Greek lyric and the sacred. The Net- work was founded in 2007 as a means of facilitating interaction among scholars interested in the study of archaic and classical lyric, elegiac, and iambic poetry. Most of the papers included in this volume were originally presented at a conference entitled “The Genres of Archaic and Classical Greek Poetry: Theo- ries and Models,” held at the University of California, Berkeley in September 2015. For financial support for the conference, we are grateful to the Network for the Study of Archaic and Classical Greek Song, and to the UC Berkeley Dean of Arts & Humanities, Doreen B. Townsend Center for the Humanities, Departments of Classics and Comparative Literature, and the Gladys Rehard Wood Chair. For advanced conference planning and organization, thanks to Egbert Bakker, André Lardinois, Richard P.Martin, Melissa Mueller, Nelly Olien- sis, and Natasha Peponi; for designing the poster, thanks to Richard Neer; and for essential help during the conference, thanks to Marissa Henry, Chris Waldo, and Andrew Wein. The CASMA staff, especially Gary Spears and Sarah Calderon, provided essential logistical support. We want to thank all the speak- ers and core members of the Network in attendance for making the conference such a lively and stimulating event; in addition to the contributors to the vol- ume, we are grateful for the participation of Lucia Athanassaki, Anton Bierl, Ewen Bowie, Michel Briand, Deborah Boedeker, Vanessa Cazzato, Kate Gilhuly, Athena Kirk, André Lardinois, David Larsen, Dirk Obbink, Enrico Prodi, Ralph Rosen, Ian Rutherford, Renate Schlesier, Alan Sheppard, and Eva Stehle. We are particularly grateful to Virginia Jackson, Chris Nealon, and Yopie Prins for pro- viding a non-Greek, comparative lyric perspective. Thanks finally to Marissa Henry for translating the paper of Claude Calame, although in the end Profes- sor Calame was not able to attend. In the transition from conference to volume, all papers underwent a pro- cess of peer reviewing at the hands of the editors, as well as two anonymous reviewers for the Press. We thank the two anonymous reviewers for their com- ments, queries, and provocations, which made the volume stronger and more viii preface and acknowledgments coherent. In addition, the contributors had the opportunity to read each other’s papers and revise them in dialogue with each other. For editorial assistance in the preparation of the volume, we are grateful to Joshua Benjamins, Mas- simo Cè, Alexander Forte, and Michael Konieczny; for administrative support, thanks to Gary Spears and Teresa Wu. We also wish to thank Donald Mas- tronarde for his papyrological assistance in reading Pindar fr. 128c SM. Above all, we are indebted to André Lardinois, who has provided support and guid- ance at every stage, right up to the volume’s publication. Thanks to the whole Brill editorial team, and especially to Christoph Pieper for his sage editorial involvement and attention to the volume. Finally, we would like to thank the Anne and Jim Rothenberg Fund for Humanities Research at Harvard University and the Gladys Rehard Wood Chair at UC Berkeley for providing the funds to make this book permanently available through Open Access.
