I am grateful for the support and encouragement of my editor Robert Weil and his team at W. W. Norton. Also to my wife Eleo and daughter Charlotte.

Peter was not well enough to write his own introduction. However, he would have been thrilled and honored that two authors to whom he was close stepped in at the final stages: Mary Beard, who wrote the introduction, and Rosamund Bartlett, who wrote A Note on the Translations.
