Herodotus and Hellenistic Culture

Jessica Priestley

earliest edition we have, 2014 Oxford University Press, Incorporated, 2014

Jessica Priestley explores some of the earliest ancient responses to Herodotus' 'Histories' from the early and middle Hellenistic period. Through discussions of contemporary discourse relating to the Persian Wars, geography, literary style, and biography, it nuances our understanding of how ancient readers reacted to and appropriated the 'Histories'.
