The nature of the boundary between fact and fiction is a key issue of current intellectual life. In Classical studies, this issue has become prominent especially through the upsurge of interest in the ancient novel and recent work on the rhetorical character of ancient historiography. This collection of new essays explores this issue, especially by considering how far 'lying' was distinguished from 'fiction' at different periods and in different genres. The areas covered are early Greek poetry (E. L. Bowie), Plato (Christopher Gill), Greek and Roman Historiography (J. L. Moles and T. P. Wiseman), the Greek and Roman Novel (J. R. Morgan and Andrew Laird). Michael Wood and D. C. Feeney discuss the literary critical questions involved and draw connections with contemporary debate. All Greek and Latin is translated, and the collection is designed to be accessible to students of literature and history generally as well as to Classicists.
