[PU: Cambridge : Cambridge University Press], XV, 378 p., maps. Original softcover. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly rubbed, overall very good and clean. / Leicht berieben, insgesamt sehr gut und sauber. - CONTENTS: Introduction by Cárolyn Dewald and John Marincola -- Herodotus and the poetry of the past by John Marincola -- Herodotus and his prose predecessors by Robert Fowler -- Herodotus and tragedy by Jasper Griffin -- The intellectual milieu of Herodotus by Rosalind Thomas -- Meta-historié: method and genre in the Histories by Nino Luraghi -- The syntax of historié: how Herodotus writes by Egbert Barker -- Speech and narrative in the Histories by Christopher Felling -- Herodotus, Sophocles and the woman who wanted her brother saved by Carolyn Dewald and Rachel Kitzinger -- Stories and story-telling in the Histories by Alan Griffiths -- Humour and danger in Herodotus by Carolyn Dewald -- Location and dislocation in Herodotus by Rachel Friedman -- Herodotus and the natural world by James Romm -- Herodotus and Greek religion by Scott Scullion -- Warfare in Herodotus by Lawrence Tritle -- Herodotus, political history and political thought by Sara Forsdyke -- Herodotus and the cities of mainland Greece by Philip Stadter -- Herodotus and Italy by Rosaría Munson -- Herodotus and Persia by Michael Flower -- Herodotus and foreign lands by Tim Rood -- Herodotus’influence in antiquity by Simon Hornblower. - 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, recent 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’ traditions about their past were still the fluid transmissions and memories of a largely oral society. This Companion provides a series of up-to-date and accessible chapters, written by distinguished scholars, illuminating many aspects of Herodotus’ work: his skill in language and his narrative art; his intellectual preconceptions; his working methods and techniques; his attitude towards nature and the gods; his attitude towards foreign cultures and peoples; and his view of human life and human history.
