Publisher Summary 1
The Histories describe the world from its beginnings as a concept rather than merely a physical entity up to that war to end all wars, the Persian of the early fifth century BCE. This collection of essays reinforces current knowledge that Herodotus was in fact a serious historical researcher in a time when the Greeks were still inventing themselves, relying on ever-shifting traditions and oral histories founded more on identity politics than fact. The 20 essays cover such topics as the relationship between Herodotus and the historical and poetic past, the impact of tragedy, the intellectual environment, method and genre, syntax, speech and narrative, storytelling, humor and danger, location and dislocation, the natural world, religion, warfare, political history and political thought, cites of mainland Greece, the specters of foreign lands, and Herodotus' influence in antiquity. The editors include an index of passages. Annotation 漏2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
Publisher Summary 2
Popularly known as the 'Father of History', Herodotus is the first major prose writer in the history of Western literature whose work has survived in full. At a time when the ancient Greeks' knowledge of the past relied on orally transmitted memories, he was a pioneering historical practitioner who explored the interplay of myth and history and the role of narrative in history. Contributors to this volume analyze Herodotus' Histories and their influence. Taking a thematic approach, they explore the Histories and their context, techniques and themes, representation of the Greeks' relationships with foreigners and reception.
