MR: Your academic interests seem to have shifted from Antiquity to metahistory and the problems of the present. Could you please describe this shift? FH: I think that from the very beginning, since my first book, The Mirror of Herodotus, I was interested in addressing the question of holism. At that time, in the end of the seventies, there was a debate on the issue. So I was reading Herodotus, or trying to read him, and at the same time I was aware of the contemporary debates. Even when I was working on Antiquity, on Herodotus' or other ancient texts, there was always the idea not of being in the present, so to speak, but to address issues which were part of our intellectual environment
