Greek and Roman Historiography is a collection of important
articles from the last thirty years which treat the ways in which
the ancient Greeks and Romans thought about and wrote their
histories. Six of these articles have been translated into English
for the first time. Avoiding issues such as sources and reliability
which were the concern of earlier scholarship, the contributors
focus much more on how the ancients themselves engaged with their
past: the relationship between myth and history; the role of memory
and oral tradition as they shaped both Greek and Roman notions of
the past; the role of the historian in giving form and meaning to
his history; and the different notions of historical truth and
falsehood. A specially written introduction places the essays in
the larger context of earlier and more recent trends in the study
of Greek and Roman historiography.
