Sarah Iles Johnston has innovated in the study of myth, ritual, and belief throughout her career, and her work in these areas and their intersections informs the contributions to this volume, allowing each to innovate in turn.

Sarah Iles Johnston has innovated in the study of myth, ritual, and belief, and her scholarship in these areas informs the contributions to this volume, each of which uses Johnston to innovate in turn. The capacity of Johnston's work to underpin scholarship on phenomena from the ancient Mediterranean to the present day--from Isis charms in Christian Egypt to American goddess worship; from healing in the Epidaurian iamata to the medicine of Linda Hogan's Indios; from the believability of a Syriac ghost story to that of theurgic ritual--illustrates Johnston's impact and the vibrant state of work on myth, ritual, and belief.

Carman Romano has been a Visiting Assistant Professor at Bryn Mawr College since 2021. Her work explores how ancient poets led their audiences to conceptualize and interact with the supernatural entities that populate their performances. James C. Wolfe, Ph.D. (2020), is a Teacher of Latin and Assistant Varsity Golf Coach at Severn School. His publications explore issues of genre in Syriac historiography and Roman law in Syriac documentary parchments (Journal of Near Eastern Studies 82.2).
