A virtual birthday gift presented to Gregory Nagy on turning seventy by his students, colleagues, and friends

Acknowledgments

The editorial team wishes to thank all the contributors for their hard work and patience over the five years that this project developed and matured. Over that time, we have had substantive assistance from many individuals, to the extent that we are sure to omit some of them unintentionally, even though we are deeply grateful to all of those mentioned and unmentioned. Without the extraordinary help of Olga Davidson, we would never have been able to compile the lists of contributors whom we have succeeded in contacting. On the technical side, this project would have gone nowhere without the knowledge and the always humane and gentle assistance of the CHS system administrators, Pat Coleman and Rob Jenson. In preparing the contributions for publication, we had the help of a high-spirited, well-trained, and well-disciplined group of summer undergraduate interns, including Anastasia Baran (Georgetown University), Felege-Selam Yirga (Brandeis University), and Sydney Shea (Boston University), and an amazing team of graduate student interns: Sarah Lannom, Rebecca Katz, and Nick Snead. In regard to the production of the contributions, we all owe a signal debt of gratitude to our Associate Editor, Noel Spencer, of the CHS publications team, who worked tirelessly and with truly wondrous skill on a process that is always full of traps and problems as well as rewards. For getting us out of the traps and moving us to the rewards, we also bless and thank our patient programmer, Benn Salter. Lastly, we would like all readers and contributors to know that we consider this Festschrift to be a work-in-progress. One of the beauties of online publication is that it can be both fluid and perfected in ways that are difficult if not impossible for print publication. So if you see something that needs fixing or seems wrong, please let us know. And stay tuned to this site: there will be enhancements to it within the next few months, and hopefully over the next few years as well.
