Description
The relationship between conceptions of history and forms of political organization has been almost completely neglected in the study of ancient Greek Culture so far. This book shows that an important element of social self-affirmation lays in this very relationship, facilitating a proper assessment of the importance of Greek historiography, and thus casting an entirely new light on a key phenomenon of ancient culture.
Hans-Joachim Gehrke, Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg.
"It should be unreservedly recommended to scholars and students alike. [...] It opens, rather than closing, the field for further research, introducing ideas, intuitions, and detailing the relevant heuristic tools. It is therefore both a specific contribution to the field, and a helpful introduction to it [...]"
Mirko Canevaro in: Gnomon 91/1 (2019), 83-84
"All in all Gehrke's book is inspiring. It gives the reader fresh insights into Greek historiography and its development down to the Hellenistic period especially emphasizing both the importance, and also the intellectual, social, and political influence, of this key phenomenon of ancient culture."
Hendrik Müller in: BMCR 2014.12.31
