Greek historiography

The ancient Greek achievement in the writing of history set the standard for all time. But the nature of that achievement looks increasingly problematic in the light of recent work on such topics as literacy, orality, rhetoric, narrative technique, and the invention of tradition. This book contributes to the understanding of both the achievement and the problems of Greek historiography by gathering the papers delivered by various distinguished scholars at an Oxford seminar in 1991
