The Shadow of Polybius: Intertextuality As a Research Tool in Greek Historiography: Proceedings of the International Colloquium, Leuven, 21-22 September 2001 (Studia Hellenistica, Band 42) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The 15 papers in this volume, delivered to an international conference held at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven in the Fall of 2001, offer a systematic investigation into Polybius's many critiques and attempt to assess their potentially distortive effects. The historian of Megalopolis emerges as a towering personality who has cast a long shadow over the badly damaged landscape of Hellenistic historiography.
