Ethnicity and Identity in Herodotus (Paperback)

Herodotus is the epochal authority who inaugurated the European and
Western consciousness of collective identity, whether in an
awareness of other societies and of the nature of cultural
variation itself or in the fashioning of Greek self-awareness - and
necessarily that of later civilizations in?uenced by the ancient
Greeks - which was perpetually in dialogue and tension with other
ways of living in groups. In this book, 14 contributors explore
ethnicity - the very self-understanding of belonging to a separate
body of human beings - and how it evolves and consolidates (or
ethnogenesis). This inquiry is focussed through the lens of
Herodotus as our earliest master of ethnography, in this instance
not only as the stylized portrayal of other societies, but also as
an exegesis on how ethnocultural di?erentiation may a?ect the
lives, and even the very existence, of one's own people. Ethnicity
and Identity in Herodotus is one facet of a project that intends to
bring Portuguese and English-speaking scholars of antiquity into
closer cooperation. It has united a cross-section of North American
classicists with a distinguished cohort of Portuguese and Brazilian
experts on Greek literature and history writing in English.
