This module will consider the development of the Greek prose historical tradition. It will provide an in-depth study of the four major historians: Herodotus, Thucydides, Xenophon and Arrian. You will learn how to analyse, evaluate and use texts, and how to relate their style and development to the wider context of literary developments, and to analyse and evaluate these texts within the Greek historiographical tradition.
