Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references
Mabel Lang's distinguished contributions to Bronze Age and Classical archaeology were
matched by sensitive and original studies of Greek historical writing. Her Martin
Classical Lectures on Herodotus were published in 1984; this volume collects her articles
on Thucydides and adds substantial previously unpublished material on Thucydidean
thought-patterns, adaptations of Herodotean structure, and the importance of indirect
speeches in his history ; The assembled papers are an important complement to Mabel
Lang's pathbreaking study of Herodotean narrative. Together with introductory and
biographical essays by Jeffrey Rusten and Eleanor Dickey, and Miss Lang's distinguished
longtime colleague Mary Patterson McPherson, these papers will enable students of
historiography in general to obtain a better understanding of how Thucydides engaged
his audience. Although they were written over many years, the papers share a consistency
of insight that makes them continually relevant to all who endeavor to understand
the literary art of Thucydides ; Jeffrey S. Rusten is Professor of Classics at Cornell
University. He is the author of books on Thucydides, Theophrastus, Greek comedy, and
Sophocles, among others, and the author of many articles and important Greek software
; Richard Hamilton is Paul Shorey Professor Emeritus of Greek at Bryn Mawr College.
A recipient of the American Philological Association's Distinguished Service Award,
he is the author of several books on Greek religion and a founding editor of the Bryn
Mawr Classical Review. --Book Jacket
