Preface
The idea for this volume sparked from an international double event (training
dayandconference)focusedonGreekpoeticfragmentsandtheirmethodology,
heldatUCL(incollaborationwithKCL)inJuly2014.Theeventaimedtoprovide
trainingforthenextgenerationofphilologistsinthespecializedtechnicalskills
needed for working directly on the wealth of newly discovered poetic material
as well as on previously edited material, often in need of revisiting. It also as-
pired to serve as a forum for the exchange of ideas on cutting-edge research
being undertaken in the field of Greek literary poetic fragments. Both events
wereledbyaninternationalteamofdistinguishedpapyrologists,literaryschol-
ars and young researchers, and became an arena for fruitful discussion that
highlightedtheimportanceofmethodologyinengagingwiththistypeofmate-
rial. This is an appropriate moment to extend warm thanks to all those who
madethatlivelyandenormouslyconstructiveeventpossible,andtothespirited
