Sources and Documents I: Texts

from Ancient Greece: City and Society Hosted by Dr Gillian Shepherd

Two main categories of evidence are essential to the study of ancient Greece: texts and archaeological material. In this lecture Dr Gillian Shepherd examines the first category, taking a look at two major historical writers of the 5th century BC, Herodotus and Thucydides, and flags up some of the methodological issues associated with the use of textual evidence in reconstructing ancient Greek history and culture.
