Introduction

These thirty essays were presented to Alan L Boegehold, a distinguished philologist and an inspirational teacher, on the occasion of his retirement and his seventy-fifth birthday.

Categories of Contributions

The contributions fall into two categories, each one reflecting Boegehold's diverse interests in classical studies:

The first section includes essays on literary and philosophical topics, several of which pick up on the theme of gestures.

The second section is representative of Boegehold's more specialised research in Greek epigraphy, history and law.
