Dionysius of Halicarnassus and Livy on the Horatii and the Curiatii

This chapter compares the accounts of the triple combat of the Horatii in the histories of Livy and Dionysius of Halicarnassus, in order to cast light on the style and historiographical techniques of these two authors and also their debt to earlier historians. Matters discussed include both authors' use of the external audience provided by the spectators of the combat, Dionysius's debt to Herodotus and Thucydides, his self-consciously tragic writing, his obsession with akribeia, Livy's structuring of this part of his first book, and his style.
