ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The editor of any large collection must first and foremost thank the contributors. This truism is even more true in the case of Herodotus, whose vast scope requires the expertise of specialists in a broad array of modern disciplines. That academic diversity can be seen in the list of contributors (xiii–xxxv): 181 scholars, based in 18 different nations, from current graduate students to the most senior (or retired) professors. From the beginning of this project, I have been continually impressed by the erudition, generosity, patience, and good humor of this community of scholars. Herodotus is well‐served.
The reader will find my name attached to several hundred entries in this encyclopedia. That was not the initial intention, nor does it fully reveal the process by which this massive work came into being. Florencia Foxley and Lester Stephens, during their time in the Classics MA program at Notre Dame, assisted in the preparation of approximately 200 entries each (initial research, collecting notes, writing rough drafts). Their work saved me many hours and helped me begin to gain a sense of what form the final product would take. All errors remain my responsibility.
My Herodotus class at Notre Dame in Spring 2017 accepted their assignment—with not just good humor, but genuine enthusiasm—to prepare an initial draft of an entry (or entries): Steven Garden, Alyssa Grant, Thomas
