I owe an unrepayable debt to all of them for the kindness and opportunities they have afforded me. I especially would thank my two additional committee members Dr. Altay Coșkun and Dr. Craig Hardiman, for being kind enough to read and review my work, and my supervisor Dr. Sheila Ager, for her hard work and patience with my thesis, for being an excellent academic role model, and for giving my introduction to the Hellenistic world four years ago. I would also like to thank all of my peers for their support through all of my work, both undergraduate and graduate, without many of whom I would not have been able to succeed as well as I did. There are far too many of them to thank each adequately here, and I hope that they would know who they are, but I would specifically like to thank my good friend Brett Bartlett for all of his support and the use of his mental library of knowledge over my university career and Geoff Harmsworth for the recent discussions of my thesis and his insightful knowledge of many topics. Finally, and perhaps most importantly, I would like to thank my friends for giving much needed distractions and my family, especially my parents, for showing me all the support and care that I could want. This applies most of all to my best friend Hayley, for providing more for me than I think she'll ever know she did. Mitchell v Table of Contents
