In this challenging new work, Nielsen compares Herodotus with Old
Testament historiography as represented by the so-called
Deuteronomistic History. He finds in the Old Testament evidence of
a tragic form like that encountered in Herodotuss Histories.
Nielsen begins by outlining Herodotuss Greek context with its roots
in Ionic natural philosophy, the epic tradition and Attic tragedy,
and goes on to analyse in some detail the outworking of the
Herodotean tragedy. Against that background, the Deuteronomistic
History is to be viewed as an ancient Near Eastern historiographic
text in the tragic tradition.
