- This 2018 volume stems from a three-day international conference held at University College London in April 2013, an event which received competitive external funding from the A. G. Leventis Foundation, the Institute of Classical Studies, and the Gilbert Murray Trust. Though the conference featured twenty-one papers, the volume contains reworked versions of thirteen papers from the conference. To achieve a coherent breadth and coverage of the topic, these thirteen were specifically chosen by my co-editors, Thomas Coward and Theodora Hadjimichael, and myself; we commissioned two additional chapters, including an afterword by Andrew Ford, who reflected on the volume’s unique contribution to the study of Greek song. Our careful selection resulted in a volume that features contributors who are prominent scholars working at the intersections of Greek lyric and tragedy from Greece, Italy, the US, and the UK. I am the sole author of one chapter, ‘Hyporchematic Footprints in Euripides’ Electra’ (pp. 265-290), which discusses the hyporchēma, perhaps the least understood choral lyric genre; in 2020 this chapter was selected as one of De Gruyter’s 100 ‘Trends in Classics’ top articles, and is consequently available free of access until December 2020. I also co-wrote the introduction with my co-editors which lays out the larger research contribution and disciplinary context (pp. 1-15). Over a period of four years, Coward, Hadjimichael and I worked closely with each other and with contributors to produce the book’s three thematic sections. This involved working closely with authors to develop their intellectual framework, suggesting revisions, integrating cross-references, ensuring stylistic and bibliographic consistency (including the bibliography: pp. 381–414), writing two indices, and correcting the English of international scholars. The nature of these contributions is acknowledged by individual contributors throughout the volume (e.g. on p. 39, 65, 87, 163, 221, 239, 292).
