PREFACE
This is the third volume of Studies in Ancient Greek Narrative (SAGN),
aserieswhich,aswassetoutintheGeneralIntroductiontovolume,
aimsatinvestigating‘theformsandfunctionsofthemaindeviceswhich
narratology has defined for us, such as the narrator and his narratees,
time,focalization,characterization,description,speech,andplot’.Earlier
volumesdealtwith‘narrators,narratees,andnarratives’and‘time’.

Once again, this volume was prepared for in a workshop, held in

Thepreparationofthemanuscriptforpublicationwasinthe—highly
efficient and careful—hands of the copy-editor of Mnemosyne, Wim
