Axions: Past, present, and future

I give a pedagogical and historical introduction to axion physics, and briefly review the present status of axions in our understanding of particle physics and cosmology. This is a contribution to Continuous Advances in QCD 2002/Arkadyfest, held in honor of Arkady Vainshtein's 60th birthday.
