This is an accessible and concise overview of Greek and Roman
history writing. The ancient historians were not always objective
or accurate, and their intentions for writing were very different
from those of modern historians. This introductory guide helps to
unravel some of the difficulties involved in dealing with ancient
source material, placing the work of ancient historians in its
political, social and historical context for the contemporary
reader. The chapters survey all of the major historians whose works
are encountered most often by students during their period of
study, including Herodotus, Thucydides, Sallust and Livy, as well
as more minor Greek and Roman historians. Further chapters assess
works of biography and literature as historical source material.
"Alexander the Great", the subject of multiple works of history,
biography and fiction, provides an enlightening case study in
ancient historiography. Timelines of major historical events will
place the writers within their historical context, and each chapter
includes a full bibliography for ease of reference.
