Herodotus as Tour Guide
I put forward a new suggestion here about what John Marincola in an important paper called ‘the narrator’s presence’ in Herodotus’ Histories . 1 I reconsider, in particular, a number of claims of autopsy and suggest on that basis that it is sometimes illuminating to think of Herodotus as adopting the role of tour guide or, rather, virtual tour guide. My arguments involve a view about Herodotus’ ‘good faith’ or ‘trustworthiness’ that will not be a…
‘The road of excess’
This chapter addresses E.R. Dodds’s papers on Greek tragedy. Despite everything that can be said in criticism of Dodds’s Bacchae , the book is a compelling masterpiece of classical scholarship. Its shortcomings all have to do with his approach to ‘the Dionysiac’. However, Dodds’s vision is fundamental to the reception of his work: its impact on readers, within and beyond the academy, is a cultural fact independent of the validity of his treatment…
Preface
The Oxford Handbook of Ancient Greek Religion
As a guide to the study of Greek religion for scholars and graduate students, who are the target audience of the Oxford “Handbook” series, the helpful and up-to-date volume edited by Eidinow and Kindt will give good service. The editors state a programme for the volume in their introduction (p. 1–2): the focus is to be on problems and debates; varying approaches and methodologies and the history of scholarship are to be taken into account; and th…
Religion and the Gods in Greek Comedy
"The Oxford Handbook of Greek and Roman Comedy marks the first comprehensive introduction and reference work for the unified study of ancient comedy. From the birth of comedy in Greece to its end in Rome, from the Hellenistic diffusion of performances after the death of Menander to its sympotic, artistic, scholarly, and literary receptions in the later Roman Empire, no topic is neglected. The result offers Hellenists an excellent overview of the …
Problems in the Prologue and Parodos of Bacchae
In this chapter, the author gives the text of Diggle's Oxford Classical Text as lemmata, with apparatus of his own. The intense controversy that raged over Prologue: Verses 13-25 until recently has abated; Kovacs's text in his Loeb edition differs from Diggle's only in verse 20, where he accepts πρώτον from LP and χθόνα from Christus Patiens. The chapter attempts to stir a little flame from the ashes of the controversy, arguing for four alteratio…
Herodotus and Greek religion
The Histories contains a great deal of information about specific elements of Greek religion, from sacrificial practice to oracles delivered at Delphi, but questions about the general role of religion in the work and about Herodotus' own religious attitudes suggest themselves to every reader and are the natural focus of a brief account. What distinguishes Herodotus' treatment of religion from that of other writers? Is there an overarching religio…
The Cambridge Companion to Herodotus
Herodotus' Histories is the first major surviving prose work from antiquity. Its range of interests is immense, covering the whole of the known world and much beyond, and it culminates in a detailed account of the Persian Wars of the early fifth century BC. Moreover, research has shown that Herodotus is a sophisticated and at times even ironic narrator, and a pioneer and serious practitioner of historical research at a time when the Greeks' tradi…
