In 1978 and 1979 the Greek Embassy sponsored a series oflectures
at the University of Warwick designed to show the similarities and
differences between the history and literature of Ancient and
Modem Greece. In publishing these lectures the editors and the
University of Warwick would like to thank the Greek Embassy for
their generous help, and they would also like to thank their
audience for their support through fog, frost and snow, rail strikes,
petrol shortages and the railway line buckled in the heat of May
which nearly postponed Mr St Clair's lecture for a second time.
In putting on the lectures the Joint School of Classical Civilisa-
tion received timely help from Mr J. B. Butterworth, Vice-
Chancellor of the University of Warwick, Mrs Eleni Cubitt of the
Greek Embassy, the Secretary of the Oxford and Cambridge
Schools Examination Board, the Headmistress of Ursuline Con-
vent High School, Brentwood, Mrs Sylvia Seeley, MissJanet Floyd,
Miss Joan Miles, Mr Samuel Lieu, Mrs Penny Jefferson, Miss
Karen Lawrence, Miss Jessica Wall, Miss Lynne Richards, Miss
Eleanor Gurr, Miss Tina Moran, Miss Nicolette Gamer and Miss
Alison Keane.
In publishing the lectures the editors would like to thank Mrs
Janet Bailey and Mrs Christine Wyman for their admirable typing,
Miss Susan Caruth of Macmillan for her sympathetic help, and all
contributors for their punctual submission of the printed version
of their oral contributions.
It does not require a Milman Parry to detect differences
between the various contributors when it comes to providing a
written version of their lectures. The editors have felt it right to
