Beschreibung

This volume collects Robert L. Fowler's major papers on Greek myth, mythography, and historiography published since 1996, the date of the foundational article 'Herodotus and his Contemporaries', together with two new chapters specially written for this publication. Alongside his edition and commentary of the earliest texts (Early Greek Mythography, Oxford 2000-2013), his work has promoted a re-evaluation of mythography as an important part of Greco-Roman intellectual history, and enhanced our understanding of Herodotus' revolutionary Histories.
