Sinopsis

This collection of essays investigates histories in the ancient world and the extent to which the producers and consumers of those histories believed them to be true.  Beginning with comparisons between historiography and aspects of belief in Greek tragedy, chapters include discussions of historiography through the works of Herodotus, Xenophon, and Ktesias, as well as Hellenistic and later historiography, material culture in Vitruvius, and Lucian’s satire.  The volume examines pluralities of truth and belief within the ancient world - and consequences for our understanding of culture, ancient or otherwise.
