Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the life and work of the Greek historian Duris of Samos, a pupil of the philosopher Theophrastus who lived in the 4th and 3rd centuries BCE. The author examines the biases and influences prevalent in Duris's work and attempts to judge the reliability of his accounts against the evidence of other historians. The book also situates Duris and his work within the Peripatetic school of thought and explores the conflicts between Peripatetic scholars and other philosophical schools. Ultimately, the author argues that Duris's work is often unreliable, particularly when it deviates from the accounts provided by other historians. However, the author also argues that Duris's work is valuable as it provides a unique insight into the cultural and intellectual conflicts prevalent in the late 4th and early 3rd centuries BCE, a tumultuous time of political and social upheaval in the Greek world.
