Pushing the Boundaries of Historia collects together 20 chapters,
whose coverage extends from the prehistory of Greece through early
Christianity in the Roman Empire to the reception of classical
texts by contemporary playwrights and poets. The essays range
beyond Greece and Rome to the ancient realms of Persia and China
and explore a vast array of ancient authors - Homer, Herodotus,
Thucydides, Euripides, Vergil, Ovid, Livy, and Tacitus. Written by
philologists, historians, epigraphers, palaeographers,
archaeologists, and art historians, it brings together the best of
old and new traditions of classical study, from senior emeritus
faculty with established records of scholarly productivity, to the
newest generation of classics and archaeology professors. What
draws together the disparate strands of academic inquiry found in
these pages is a passion for understanding how the lessons of the
world of the ancient Greeks, Romans, and their still lamentably
understudied neighbors, can offer commentary on the contemporary
world.
