PREFACE
been obliged also to borrow from a variety of learned
and valuable works. In every case in which I asked
permission to copy a published engraving that permission
was courteously granted. If by mischance I have in
any case copied without permission, I trust that I may
be pardoned. References to the sources of engravings
will be found at the foot of my pages.
Special thanks are due to Dr. Conze and the German
Archaeological Institute for allowing me to use the plates
of their magnificent work, Die Attischen Grabreliefs, which
furnishes representations by photography or drawing of
almost all important Attic tombs. Where the photographs
of this work were better than my own, I have in some
cases used them in preference.
To M. Cavvadias and the Greek Government I am
indebted for permission to photograph freely in the
Athenian Museums; and to the Trustees of the British
Museum for leave to reproduce two interesting monuments
(Figs. 28 & 35) which are hitherto unpublished.
When I have had occasion to quote from Homer and
the poets of the Anthology, I have usually attempted
a rendering in English verse. For Greek elegiacs I have
used rhymed heroic verse, and for Greek hexameters
English ballad metre. I have also to thank my colleague,
Dr. James Williams, of Lincoln College, for allowing
me to use several of his excellent versions of poems of
the Anthology.
After careful consideration, I have decided that in
