Literary, linguistic and historical approaches are used (often in combination) in order to enhance and enrich the interpretation of the accounts, which for obvious reasons confronted the authors with a special challenge. Chapters drawing a comparison with other battle narratives and with other genres help to establish genre-specific elements in ancient historiography, and draw attention to the particular techniques employed by Herodotus and Livy in their war narratives. 410 0$aAmsterdam Studies in Classical Philology$v29. 606 $aWar in literature 606 $aThermopylae, Battle of, Greece, 480 B.C 606 $aCannae, Battle of, Italy, 216 B.C 607 $aGreece$xHistory, Military 607 $aRome$xHistory, Military 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWar in literature. 615 0$aThermopylae, Battle of, Greece, 480 B.C. 615 0$aCannae, Battle of, Italy, 216 B.C. 676 $a355.020938 702 $aGils$b Lidewij van 702 $aJong$b Irene J.
