Just Prospering? Plato and the Sophistic Debate about Justice, written by Merrick Anderson
Herodotus and the Presocratics
Herodotus' Histories was composed well before the genre of Greek historiography emerged as a distinct narrative enterprise. This book explores it within its fifth-century context alongside the extant fragments of Presocratic treatises as well as philosophizing tragedy and comedy. It argues for the Histories' competitive engagement with contemporary intellectual culture and demonstrates its ambition as an experimental prose work, tracing its respo…
Authority, Experience, and the Vicarious Traveller in Herodotus’ Histories
John Marincola’s research has thoughtfully explored the negotiation of authority in Herodotus’ Histories , revealing the extent to which the narrator is a highly intrusive one who organizes and steers the reader’s progression through the text. 1 In Authority and Tradition in Ancient Historiography , he demonstrated how Herodotus’ first-person verbs mediate historical memory for his audience and in doing so draw upon the authority of performers of…

The key themes explored are the relation of historiography to myth and poetry; the narrative auth…

Scholars have interpreted this as Hecataeus’ toleration of the supernatural or as a case of rationalizing generatio in utero heterogeneo . This article reinterprets the role of the dog’s relationship to wine and argues that Hecataeus is exploiting a linguistic ambiguity to critique a traditional narrative on a celestial dog’s ac…
