Acknowledgements

I cannot express enough gratitude to my friend and mentor Dr. Eduardo Valls Oyarzun for his unwavering support and encouragement since he prompted me to begin this line of research fifteen years ago. I can certify that this book would have never been published without his invaluable assistance, his superlative knowledge, and his unending patience. I would also like to express my sincere thankfulness and deep affection to Dr. Isabel Durán Giménez-Rico, who supervised this project in the early stages and has always offered me her irreplaceable help and continued support. Thank you always for the endless learning opportunities.

The completion of this project could not have been accomplished without the help and friendship of my colleagues Dr. Carmen Méndez and Dr. Laura de la Parra, whose outstanding talent and untiring work ethic always drive me to try harder. I admire them greatly. Thank you also to Dr. José Manuel Losada Goya, for driving forward the studies of myth at Complutense University of Madrid and for giving me the chance to participate in many research activities, projects and exchanges that have undoubtedly enriched my work over the years.

Finally, thank you always to my friends and family. Thank you for your presence and your enthusiasm. My deepest gratitude goes to my parents, whose constant support and belief in me has enabled my accomplishments. And, of course, infinite thanks to Juan and to my children. They are a constant source of joy, comfort and pride. This book is all for them.
