1 Thanks to a recent Leverhulme-funded project, based at Nottingham (2004–7), the topic of the oath in archaic and classical Greece has been on the upswing of late. F.'s interest, she reports (p. viii), preceded the project, but its momentum was clearly to her benefit: with A. Sommerstein, she organised a 2004 conference on the topic and co-edited its proceedings (Horkos: the Oath in Greek Society [2007]). I mention the Nottingham project because we still await the two volumes it produced, to which F. also contributed.

2 Carcinus' Medea, a play in which she swore that she did not kill her children, is sadly not discussed. See West, M.L, ZPE 161 (2007), 1–10Google Scholar.
