This book looks at the development of Greek historical writing, from Hecataeus of Miletus through Xenophon. It considers how Greek historiography emerged from other Greek social practices, under the impetus of contact with the non-Greek world, especially Persia. The work of Herodotus, Thucydides, and Xenophon are examined against the backdrop of other ways of curating the past. In particular the concept of disembedding Greek historical consciousness is a primary focus.

John Dillery, PhD (1989), The University of Michigan, is Professor of Classics at the University of Virginia. He has published monographs and articles on Greek Historiography and the Greek and non-Greek worlds, as well as papyri and a translation of Xenophon's Anabasis.
