Description
Greek and Roman Historians: A New Approach to Ancient Sources Michael Grant's study offers a fresh perspective on the work of ancient historians such as Herotudus, Tacitus and Thucydides. By considering the potential for misinformation in their writings, Grant provides new ways of reading and interpreting these sources. Grant argues that written history can be used to learn about the ancient world, even if our conclusions differ from those of its historians. This book is an essential guide for students of ancient history, helping them to understand the sources and interpret their imperfect accounts of the past. By incorporating literary and non-literary sources into their analysis, Grant demonstrates how written history can be used to gain a deeper understanding of the ancient world.
