Abstract

It is our regular policy to publish in each year’s issue of grms a selection of papers from the previous year’s Moisa conference, but the unusually late date of the conference in 2014 made it impossible to do so this time, and the papers will be published elsewhere. This situation is unlikely to occur again, since (as I’m happy to report) we plan to publish two issues each year from 2016 onwards, and depending on the timing of the conference, papers that were presented there will be published in either the first or the second issue of the following year. Another consequence of this development is that we shall be able to publish a larger number of articles which did not originate at Moisa conferences, and we welcome submissions and proposals from all scholars with an interest in our field, whether they would consider themselves as specialists in it or not. The topics of the articles in this issue are as diverse as ever. Of the two papers concerned with instruments, the first continues the series of articles on the contents of the “Musician’s Tomb” in Daphne which began in grms 1 (and of which we shall hear more in later issues); it is a detailed reconsideration of the stringing of the harp found in the tomb. The second article could hardly be more different, offering, as it does, a wide-ranging study of the history of the bagpipe. These are followed by four articles based primarily on texts, one focusing on a fragmentary play by Euripides, one on Aristoxenus’ Rhythmics , one on Iamblichus’ On the Pythagorean Way of Life , and one on the introduction to the pseudo-Plutarchan De Musica by Carlo Valgulio—a set of writings spanning some 1800 years. The final article examines the forms of early theatre buildings in Athens and Syracuse, drawing mainly on archaeological evidence, some of which has emerged very recently. The two reviews in our Book Reviews section are followed by Timothy J. Moore’s reply to the review of his book on Roman comedy which appeared in grms 2. We do not normally publish replies to reviews, and this should not be thought of as setting a precedent. But on this occasion the case put to me by the author struck me as compelling, and I agreed to make an exception.
