This volume focuses on the place of these interests in his investigatory techniques and sets them alongside his many narrative skills, from superficially traditional battle narrative and reworking of Greek or non-Greek traditions that border on myth to the structuring of narrative by highlighting the life of objects, and addresses such fundamental issues as how he chooses between competing explanations and how far he valued truth. The book tackles many of the basic issues that confront any attempt to understand Herodotus' work. 410 0$aTrends in classics.$pSupplementary volumes ;$vVolume 59. 606 $aHistory, Ancient$xHistoriography 610 $aHerodotus. 610 $anarrative technique. 610 $ascientific enquiry. 615 0$aHistory, Ancient$xHistoriography. 676 $a224.506 702 $aBowie$b Ewen 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796898303321 996 $aHerodotus - narrator, scientist, historian$93810277 997 $aUNINA
