Recently the importance for Herodotus' work of contemporary medical
and sophistic thought and techniques of argument has been widely
recognised, as long had been his dependence on and difference from
earlier geographical and ethnographic writing. This volume focuses
on the place of these interests in his investigatory techniques and
sets them alongside his many narrative skills, from superficially
traditonal battle narrative and reworking of Greek or non-Greek
traditions that border on myth to the structuring of narrative by
highlighting the life of objects, and addresses such fundamental
issues as how he chooses between competing explanations and how far
he valued truth. The book tackles many of the basic issues that
confront any attempt to understand Herodotus' work.
