Chris Carey: ‘Herodotus and History’
Wednesday 25 February, 11, 18, 25 March, 1 April, 6pm-7.30pm (UK time)
Herodotus is one of the most fascinating writers to survive from the ancient world, and he has both delighted and influenced readers from antiquity to the present day. He is our earliest, and our main, textual source for the Persian Wars, as well as having much to say about the history of archaic Greece. Cicero famously called him the Father of History. But his work is about far more than history in our sense of the word. The aim of the lecture series is to offer a broad overview of some of the important aspects of Herodotus Histories.
Sessions may be followed live, or watched afterwards at your own convenience (lectures will be available for up to one month after the final session).
