Preface

Abstract

We are delighted to introduce the latest issue of Delos, with Gabriele Belletti stepping in as the new Editor-in-Chief. This transition ensures continuity, as Benjamin Hebblethwaite, our former Editor-in-Chief, will remain as Coeditor, bringing his dedication and infectious enthusiasm to the role. Our journal continues to blend academic rigor with a welcoming spirit of innovation. This rigor is maintained through double peer-reviewed contributions, complemented by comprehensive introductions and critical analyses and thanks to teamwork in collaboration with the Managing Editor, Richard Gray, the Journals Manager Lauren Phillips, and the entire University of Florida Press. Innovation is reflected in our embrace of diverse cultures and languages, as well as various modes of translation across poetry, prose, and other artistic forms, fostering a welcoming attitude towards different perspectives.
