The present volume is direct and friendly recompense for the whole of Dertilis’ generous contribution to the academy, to research and to public life. The contributors to this volume are colleagues and students of Dertilis. The work of some of these scholars stands in a direct dialogue with the breadth of research interests of Dertilis himself, whilst the work of others holds a discourse oblique to the work of Dertilis.
