    Towards a Critical Dialogue

    by Jonas Grethlein ...

    Translated by Raymond Geuss ...
    Series series Classical Scholarship in Translation
    In this concise but stimulating book on history and Greek culture, Hans-Joachim Gehrke continues to refine his work on 'intentional history', which he defines as a history in the self-understanding of social groups and communities – connected to a corresponding understanding of the other – which is important, even essential, for the collective identity, social cohesion, political behaviour and the ...

  • The Ancient Aesthetics of Deception

    The Ethics of Enchantment from Gorgias to Heliodorus

  • Time and Narrative in Ancient Historiography

    The ‘Plupast' from Herodotus to Appian

    Edited by Jonas Grethlein, Christopher B. Krebs ...

It can bring into play other texts, but can also draw on lieux de mémoire or on material objects. The articles assembled in this volume explore the manifold forms ... Read more
