Description

The origins and development of Greek historiography cannot be properly understood unless early historical writings are situated in the framework of late archaic and early classical Greek culture and society.

Contextualization opens up new perspectives on the subject in The Historian's Craft in the Age of Herodotus.

At the same time, such writings offer significant insights into how works of Herodotus reflect the attitude of fifth-century Greeks towards thetransmission and manipulation of knowledge about the past.

Essays by an international range of experts explore all aspects of the topic and, at the same time, make a thought-provoking contribution to the ongoing debates concerning literacy and oral culture.
