ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

e present monograph began its life as a  Cornell dissertation,

although it has evolved considerably in form and content since then.

Kevin Clinton, Hayden Pelliccia, and Jeery Rusten were a patient and

thoughtful dissertation committee. William Slater and Merle Langdon

each read the dissertation in its entirety soon aer its defense and their

criticisms helped to rene my research questions in the eld of essalian

religion.

My thinking on a number of problems tackled in this manuscript has

been improved by conversations and correspondence with the growing

number of ‘essalians’ in the elds of Archaeology and Ancient His-

tory: Emma Aston, Richard Bouchon, Yannis Georganis, Bruno Helly,

Soa Kravaritou, Yannis Lolos, Alexander Mazarakis-Ainian, Maria Mili,

Reinder Reinders, Jacek Rzepka, Sławomir Sprawski.

Special thanks are due to the welcoming sta of the

ΙΕ’Ephoreia

of Prehistoric and Classical Antiquities in Larisa, especially Athanasios

Tziaphalias, former Ephor, and Anthi Batziou-Efstathiou, current Ephor.

e support sta at the American School of Classical Studies at Athens

was exceptionally helpful in securing permissions for me to study the

inscriptions which lay at the foundation of this book. I am especially

grateful to Elena Kourakou and Maria Pilali.

Klaus Hallof, Sebastian Prignitz, and the entire sta of the Inscrip-

tiones Graecae project at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences

provided a very supportive and collegial atmosphere during a research

trip to Berlin.

I have had the benet of access to two exceptional libraries during the

research, writing, and editing of this book: Hodges Library at the Uni-

versity of Tennessee, Knoxville, and the Blegen Library at the American

School of Classical Studies at Athens. I have been blessed with supportive

colleagues in both Knoxville and Athens: Salvador Bartera, Christopher

Craig, Jack Davis, Michael Kulikowski, Maura Laerty, Merle Langdon,

Susan Martin, Margie Miles, Robert Sklenar, Elizabeth Sutherland, David

Tandy, and Aleydis Van de Moortel.

is monograph has benetted from the formidable knowledge of

Christian Habicht and David Tandy, who generously read and com-

mented on the full manuscript and improved nearly every page.
