Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the origins and development of Greek historical writing. The author traces the evolution from oral storytelling to the works of renowned historians such as Herodotus and Thucydides. Examining the influence of cultural, political, and intellectual factors, the book sheds light on the emergence of historical inquiry as a distinct discipline in ancient Greece. The book highlights the influence of narrative traditions, such as epic poetry and local chronicles, on the formation of historical accounts. It discusses the role of individuals like Hecataeus and Theopompus in shaping the genre, and examines the impact of the Hellenistic period on the development of universal history. By analyzing the methods and perspectives of Greek historians, the book provides insights into their understanding of truth, objectivity, and the nature of historical events. It explores how biases, political agendas, and the availability of sources influenced the historical accounts produced during this period.
