Herodotus has shaped our knowledge of life, religion, war and
politics in ancient Greece immeasurably, as well as being one of
the most entertaining of all Classical Greek authors: fascinating,
perceptive, accessible and not at all pretentious. Herodotus and
Greek History, first published in 1982, examines the themes and
preoccupations which form the basis for Herodotus' style of
history. The Athenian nobility, important protagonists in the
context of what we know of his sources; the human and divine
forces, which Herodotus understood as influencing the course of
history; and the concepts of character and motivation are all
discussed. Herodotus' treatment of religious belief and oracles,
politics and war, and his portrayal of certain prominent
individuals are specifically investigated. The final chapter
situates Herodotus in his historical context. John Hart's lucid,
well-informed and lively discussion of Herodotus will be value to
A-level candidates, school teachers, undergraduates, lecturers and
curious non-classicists alike.
