A consideration of authors and historians from fifth century BC onwards who shed light on the Greek tradition of historical writing.
The historians considered in this volume lived between the fifth century BC and the third century AD. They came from areas as far apart as Syria and Sicily and they had in common the Greek language and the Greek tradition of historical writing. They include authors who, though not strictly historians, shed important light on the tradition.The historians considered in this volume lived between the fifth century BC and the third century AD.
