Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Anmerkungen / beschriftet / Stempel; Leichte Gebrauchsspuren. Herodotus, often called the "Father of History," is known for blending mythological elements with historical narratives, which has led to criticism of his reliability as a historian. His work faced skepticism from later generations, including notable figures like Plutarch, who accused him of fabricating stories. This skepticism continued into the twentieth century, where scholars struggled to reconcile Herodotus' intent to depict history "as it really happened" with his narrative choices. This volume compiles 13 innovative essays by experts in ancient Greek literature and history, aiming to reassess the mythological components of Herodotus' Histories. The essays illuminate his narrative skills, highlight his adaptability, and show his engagement with the intellectual currents of his time. The Herodotus that emerges is a formidable figure, adeptly managing a wealth of material and navigating the challenges of organization and presentation, akin to battling the many heads of a Hydra. Ultimately, the volume argues that the mythic elements in his work are not separate from its historical aspects but are essential to his historical narrative.…

Hardback. Condition: New. This book contends that Herodotus asserts his authority as a historiographer by integrating a wide array of speeches throughout the Histories. These include not only the words he attributes to his characters but also the testimony he assigns to his informants. Both types of speeches serve to engage the reader, thereby enhancing the credibility of the text, and, by extension, its author. In addition to offering a comprehensive analysis of the formal features of Herodotus' speeches, the book examines key episodes, ranging from Croesus' dialogue with Solon on the nature of true prosperity to Xerxes' proclamation of his decision to invade Greece.…
