Zustand: Gut. XXVII, 201 Seiten / p., Beilage. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - altersgemäß sehr guter Zustand / very good condition for age - Beilage / supplement: Rezension / review -- Introduction -- Those cities that were formerly great are now diminished, while those that are now great were once small. If a single sentence can be said to sound the keynote of Herodotus Histories, surely it is this one, privileged by its position at the end of the works introductory segment. Change is the greatest of Herodotus many themes and the one that, like the sun in Platos famous metaphor, sheds illumination on all the others. A particular kind of change interested him most, moreover: Not mere instability or flux, but the movement that results in a leveling of extremes, like the reversal of a pendulum that has swung too far in one direction. Such changes reveal the hand of divinity at work in the world, for the gods dislike extremes and everywhere favor balance, proportion, and the mean. Human attempts to attain extremesof power and wealth, for exampleare doomed to fail in the long run; just as with the oscillation of boom and bust in finance, a correction must inevitably take its course. -- The long run, however, may be very long indeed. While the ups and downs of economic cycles can be plotted on monthly charts, the rises and falls of nation-states occur over decades or even centuries, often too slowly to be perceived in the span of any one lifetime. Hence the need for historians, who can remind us of the larger perspective when we feel we have attained a stasis or a control of our destiny (the end of history, as the triumph of liberal democracy was famously dubbed at the end of the twentieth century). Herodotus was the first writer in the Western tradition to examine the ebb and flow of political power over such a vast time span, to capture not just a single war ( as Homer had done) but the rise of a great empire, the cresting of its influence and might, and the beginnings of its inevitable lapse into decline. Although he has been called the father of history, he might be better hailed as the discoverer of the historical time scale, a breakthrough as significant for his era as the invention of the telescope was to the Renaissance.
