Thucydides Between History and Literature

Papers in this volume explore Thucydides’ methods of research and representation (also contrasting the notions of an objective historian and an artful narrator), provide insights into the historian’s narrative techniques and style, examine the use of the past in Thucydidean historiography, analyse Thucydides’ political ideas in the context of 5th century history and classical political thought, and investigate Thucydides’ relationship to earlier historical accounts, especially Herodotus.
