From the Back Cover

'The authors of this book, former colleagues or students of Anthony Snodgrass, offer excellent, and in part personal, contributions that demonstrate in a wide variety of ways the lasting impact of his scholarship - an attracting force that clearly stimulated the distinguished interdisciplinary papers collected here.' Franziska Lang, Professor of Classical Archaeology at the Technische Universität Darmstadt Contributions to Greek and Roman Archaeology and History inspired by the work of Anthony Snodgrass Over his long and illustrious career as Lecturer, Reader and Professor at Edinburgh University (1961-1976), Lawrence Professor of Classical Archaeology at Cambridge (1976-2001) and currently Fellow of the McDonald Institute of Archaeology at Cambridge, Anthony Snodgrass has influenced and been associated with a long series of eminent classical archaeologists, historians and linguists. In acknowledgement of his immense academic achievement, this collection of essays by a range of international scholars reflects his wide-ranging research interests: Greek prehistory, the Greek Iron Age and Archaic era, Greek texts and Archaeology, Classical Art History, societies on the fringes of the Greek and Roman world, and Regional Field Survey. Not only do they celebrate his achievements but they also represent new avenues of research which will have a broad appeal. John Bintliff and Keith Rutter are Honorary Professors in the School of History, Classics and Archaeology at the University of Edinburgh.
