Book Synopsis Herodotus: Volume 1 by : Rosaria Vignolo Munson
Book excerpt: A collection of scholarship on Herodotus. Vol. 1 discusses his historical method, sources, narrative art, literary antecedents, intellectual background, and political ideology. Vol. 2 focuses on his description of foreign lands and peoples and the theoretical issues it raises, including the extent to which the ethnographic portrayals conform to a conventional Greek construct of barbarian 'otherness' or derive from direct contact with native sources.
