Pythagoras and Heraclitus developed theories of the universe and
mankind's place in it which were taken seriously by all later Greek
thinkers. None of their works remains, however, except in later
paraphrases that all too often are misrepresentations. Pythagoras
had followers who attributed their own ideas to their master;
Heraclitus wrote in a prose style so ambiguous that he came to be
known as the Shadow, so that even the most earnest attempts to
paraphrase his views had to smooth out his intentional rough edges.
Nonetheless, enough remains to allow the authors of this volume,
edited by David Sider and Dirk Obbink (Oxford), to offer new ways
of viewing their views and the way others perceived them. The
contributors are Gabor Betegh (Budapest), Roman Dilcher
(Heidelberg), Aryeh Finkelberg (Tel Aviv), Daniel Graham (Brigham
Young University), Herbert Granger (Wayne State University), Carl
Huffman (DePauw), Enrique Hulsz Piccone (Mexico City), Anthony Long
(Berkeley), Richard McKirahan (Pomona), Catherine Rowett (East
Anglia), David Sider (New York), and Leonid Zhmud (St. Petersberg).
