Why Gorgias of Leontini traveled to Athens: A study of recent epigraphical evidenceFootnote¹
Research for this project was made possible by a stipend from the National Endowment for the Humanities. Permission to publish the official photograph of inscription EM 68S5 appearing in this essay was granted by the Ministry of Culture of the Greek Government and assisted through the cooperation of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens. Appreciation is also extended to George Allen & Unwin, now Unwin Hyman of HarperCollins Publishers Limited of Great Britain, for permission to reproduce the map of Sicily from A. G. Woodhead's The Greeks in the West. The author wishes to express appreciation to all parties for their efforts, particularly the international transactions of Richard Helppie.
