Sommario/riassunto |
|
"This collection of essays investigates histories in the ancient world and the extent to which the producers and consumers of those histories believed them to be true. Ancient Greek historiographers repeatedly stressed the importance of truth to history; yet they also purported to believe in myth, distorted facts for nationalistic or moralizing purposes, and omitted events that modern audiences might consider crucial to a truthful account of the past. Truth and History in the Ancient World explores a pluralistic concept of truth--one in which different versions of the same historical event can all be true--or different kinds of truths and modes of belief are contingent on culture"--Provided by publisher. |
