Ancient Worlds in Perspective

Contextualizing Herodotus. Edited by Julian Degen, Hilmar Klinkott, Robert Rollinger, Kai Ruffing and Brigitte Truschnegg. From the backdrop of ongoing scholarly debates, this volume seeks to offer a fresh look on the Histories. The 11 contributions present a nuanced portrayal of Herodotus as an author and the Histories as a literary cosmos, enhancing our comprehension of one of the most significant surviving texts from the Classical period. The topics cover a wide range of themes, including the structure of Herodotus' historiographical narrative, his responses to the politics of Athens as well as the Achaemenid Empire, and the reception of his work.
