Essays in classical archaeology for Eleni Hatzivassiliou 1977-2007

Authors:Donna C. Kurtz, Hans-Caspar Meyer, Eleni Hatzivassiliou

A collection of essays dedicated to the memory of Eleni Hatzivassiliou (1977-2007). The range of subjects reflects her broad circle of friends. Many are her contemporaries, but many are very senior scholars; ages range from 25 to 80. It is truly remarkable that someone who had not yet reached her thirtieth birthday could have come to know so many scholars and win their admiration and affection.
