Herodotus in Context: Ethnography, Science and the Art of Persuasion Book

This book examines the Histories of Herodotus within the context of the intellectual climate of the mid to late fifth century BC.

Rosalind Thomas concentrates on the latter, along with Herodotus' accounts of the wonders of nature and his methods of convincing his audiences, seeing these as part of the world of scientific enquiry and controversy more familiar from the natural philosophers and medical works of the time.Read More
