Original brochure. Zustand: Gut. 337 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Dedication page slightly detached from adhesive binding, otherwise a good and clean copy. - From the preface: I have written this book from the conviction that Xenophons longer hiistorical works, the Hellenica and Anabasis, have a great deal to tell us about how one thoughtful man of unusually wide experience Attempted to make sense of the history of his times. The perspective it takes is not adversarial, as though Xenophon was a witness who was either unable to tell us the things we wish to know, or was unwilling; rather, this book takes account of what he wanted to tell us. and suggests reasons why he might have felt that way. It does not censure, it explains. My chief concern has been twofold: first, to place the discussion of the Hellenica and Anabasis in the larger context of Xenophons entire corpus, in order to see with greater clarity the structures of his thought; and second, to look at how his contemporaries or near-contemporaries grappled with issues that also come up in his work. Thus I hope that a better understanding of how Xenophon viewed his world will emerge, as well as an awareness of how his thinking was like and unlike those who lived at about the same time he did. The period Xenophon covered in his historical writing was a crucial one, not only for Greek political-military history, but also for Greek intellectual history, in »rich ideas that can be recognized, roughly speaking, as Classical or even 'Archaic were being gradually modulated and changed into ones we might style Hellenistic.

C. , rather than focusing on the traditional question of how accurate they are as histories. Through the analysis of the complete corpus of Xenophon's work and the writings of his contemporaries, Xenophon is shown to be very much a man of his times, concerned with topical issues ranging from panhellenism and utopia to how far the gods controlled human history.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This book looks at the development of Greek historical writing, from Hecataeus of Miletus through Xenophon. It considers how Greek historiography emerged from other Greek social practices, under the impetus of contact with the non-Greek world, especially Persia. The work of Herodotus, Thucydides, and Xenophon are examined against the backdrop of other ways of curating the past. In particular the concept of disembedding Greek historical consciousness is a primary focus.
