The Ancient Greek Historians: Harvard Lectures (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book profoundly enriches our understanding of the genesis and early development of history as a discipline. Before delving into the details of historiography, the author presents a meticulous examination of the rich tapestry of Greek traditions, myths, and literary influences which preceded and informed the work of the earliest Greek historians. The author then turns to the foundational importance of writers like Hecataeus and Herodotus, tracing their innovative methods, and their particular contributions to shaping historical inquiry. The author also deepens our understanding of how these historians grappled with issues of reliability, geographic knowledge, and the challenge of ordering historical events meaningfully, illustrating how they wrestled with the tension between myth and verifiable facts. This book is essential reading for any student of Greek history, and anyone interested in the birth of history itself as a mode of intellectual exploration and inquiry. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
