The Hesperia Supplement series presents book-length studies in the fields of Greek archaeology, art, language, and history. Originally designed to accommodate extended essays too long for inclusion in the journal Hesperia, the series was started in 1937. Since that date the Supplements have established a strong identity of their own, and are now recognized as one of the most prestigious publication venues in Greek studies. They range in format from single author monographs, through excavation reports, to major edited collections on topics of interest to researchers in classics, archaeology, art history, and Hellenic studies. Hesperia Supplements appear irregularly, but there are usually one to two published each year. Each Supplement is peer-reviewed, edited, and produced to the highest standards.

The American School of Classical Studies at Athens is a research and teaching institution dedicated to advanced study of the archaeology, art, history, philosophy, language, and literature of Greece and the Greek world. Established in 1881 by a consortium of nine American universities, the School now serves graduate students and scholars from more than 190 affiliated colleges and universities, acting as a base for research and study in Greece. The main buildings of the School and its library are located in Athens, with administrative and publications offices in Princeton, New Jersey. As part of its mission, the School directs ongoing excavations in the Athenian Agora and at Corinth and sponsors all other American-led excavations and surveys on Greek soil. It is the official link between American archaeologists and classicists and the Archaeological Service of the Greek Ministry of Culture and, as such, is dedicated to the wise management of cultural resources and the dissemination of knowledge of the classical world.
