The Essays in this Book are Dedicated to
Nicholas G. L. Hammond
CBE, DSO, FBA
with gratitude and affection
Preface
BR
ALTHOUGH my name appears on this volume as sole editor, and
final responsibility rests with me, it is only right that certain other
scholars who have been involved in the ins-and-outs of this collec-
tion of essays dedicated to Nicholas Hammond should also be
mentioned, which involves tracing some of the book’s history.
The volume was born at some point during social activities follow-
ing the Second Australian Symposium on Ancient Macedonian
Studies held at the University of Melbourne in July 1991. There
had been talk of dedicating the proceedings from the conference
to Nick Hammond, who was one of several overseas scholars at
that gathering and who had participated in his usual energetic and
incisive manner. At that point I suggested that a Festschrif? in
recognition of his scholarship was long overdue—indeed many
years overdue—a suggestion which met with (understandable)
favour and enthusiasm by all there. We decided that Gene Borza
and I should edit such a book, backed up by Bob Milns, who,
although keen to play a part, had commitments which precluded
him from taking an active role. When we had returned to the more
sober atmospheres of our respective universities Borza and I
began to work on some of the details. Regrettably, Borza soon
after had to resign from the project for understandable personal
and academic reasons, and I then worked on it by myself and hap-
pily brought the book to completion.
Despite Hammond’s work in so many areas it seemed better
in an honorific volume to reflect the fields for which he is the
most renowned: Greek and Macedonian history and archaeo-
logy of the fourth century sc and source studies. In this way, I
thought, the book would have a framework into which the con-
tributions would logically fit, and at the same time its unity and
scope would make it a valuable addition to the scholarship on
these areas. I hope the final product meets with the favour of its
dedicatee.
viii Preface
There are a number of people I wish to thank, not least being
the contributors to the volume, who met deadline dates and
diplomatically (for the most part) put up with my various
requests, thus allowing the project to be completed in a shorter
time than anticipated. I am grateful to Gene Borza for all he did
in the early stages, for his willingness to offer advice when I
needed it, and for preparing the brief Aummage which follows.
The Australian Institute for Macedonian Studies and the
Hellenic community made a generous grant to assist publishing
costs. Tracy Furlonger helped me immensely with the un-
glamorous tasks of verifying bibliographic references and proof-
reading, at the same time, and as always, supporting me
throughout. Finally, last but certainly not least, I am indebted to
the scholar to whom this book is dedicated. Not only has his
work influenced me but also it is a privilege to know him and
Margaret personally. Those who have used his work may agree
or disagree with him, but all have learnt from him, and this is
certainly true of the roughly three generations of scholars in this
book. Long may he continue his work and thus inspire and
stimulate the fourth generation and beyond.
