HIST 610L - Greek and Roman Historians
3 Credit(s)
Description:
Beginning with the “Father of History” Herodotus and ending with Ammianus Marcellinus, this course will consider all of the major Greek and Roman writers of historical accounts. Topics will include: variations of genre and the role of audience; the author’s motivation, narrative style, and use of sources; the sociological impact of histories; and the differing traditions of Greek and Roman historiography. Requirements include extensive consideration of both the ancient texts and modern scholarship on each author and on the historiographical process. CLSICS 610L and HIST 610L are the same course.
