Most of the translations from foreign languages in the text are my own, but for 
the quotation from Machiavelli’s and the quotation from Virgil’s (though I have
 adapted the latter very slightly). I am indebted to the late scholars George 
Bull (1929–2001) and E. V. Rieu (1887–1972), respectively. —OLIVER BOWDEN, PARIS, 2010
