Through the examination of all of the major Greek and Roman writers of history from Herodotus to Ammianus Marcellinus, this course considers the development of historical writing. With support from secondary scholarship and through extensive reading of the ancient texts, students will evaluate the work of each author, with particular attention to the roles that audience, culture and historical context have in shaping narrative structure and approach. CLSICS 310L and HIST 310L are the same course.
