The Greeks and Their Histories: Myth, History, and Society - Classical Scholarship in Translation
Gehrke, Hans-Joachim (Albert-Ludwigs-Universitat Freiburg, Germany)
Like every society, the Greek communities needed a unifying concept of their past, an 'intentional history'. In direct interaction with poets, they formed an aesthetic network in which myths were considered as historical events. This volume considers how Greeks' histories were consciously employed to help shape political and social realities.
