So far, discussion has centered on fifth-century authors -- Herodotus and Thucydides, along with the sophists and early philosophers. Pownall extends the focus of this discussion into an important period. By focusing on key intellectuals and historians of the fourth century (Plato and the major historians -- Xenophon, Ephorus, and Theopompus), she examines how these prose writers created an aristocratic version of the past as an alternative to the democratic version of the oratorical tradition. Frances Pownall is Professor of History and Classics, University of Alberta. 606 $aHistoriography$xMoral and ethical aspects$zGreece$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aExempla in literature 607 $aGreece$xHistory$yTo 146 B.C$xHistoriography 607 $aGreece$xIntellectual life$yTo 146 B.C 615 0$aHistoriography$xMoral and ethical aspects$xHistory 615 0$aExempla in literature. 676 $a938/.06/072 700 $aPownall$b Frances$f1963-$01867753 712 02$aMichigan Publishing (University of Michigan) 801 0$bMiU 801 1$bMiU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966446803321 996 $aLessons from the past$94475454 997 $aUNINA
