This edited collection looks at two of the most important ancient
Greek historians living in the 5th Century BCE who are considered
to be the founders of the western tradition of historiography.
Thucydides and Herodotus examines the relevant relationship between
these historians which is considered, especially nowadays, by
historians and philologists to be more significant than previously
realized. The volume includes an introduction by the editors which
addresses our changing view of how the historians relate to one
another, and twelve papers written by leading experts in the field
of ancient history and philology. Nine of the papers discuss either
comprehensive issues pertaining to the historians' relationship or
their common themes and practices, while three further papers
discuss the ancient reception of Herodotus and Thucydides and
investigate the historians' debt to Homer.
