Abstract

Herodots Historie ist das erste erhaltene Geschichtswerk Europas. Immer wieder aber wurde der Autor auch kritisiert; so prägt Cicero zwar den Terminus "Vater der Geschichtschreibung", bemängelt aber zugleich die Fiktionalität in dessen Werk. In der Tat ist gerade das mythische Geschichtenerzählen ein Hauptcharakteristikum bei Herodot und die Durchmischung fiktionaler Tradition und rationalistischer Innovation hat auch moderne Leser bisweilen irritiert.Diese "Mythisierung" historischer Geschehnisse resultiert jedoch nicht aus naiver Anekdotenfreude. Vielmehr wird eine Interpretation der historischen Ereignisse erst durch den assoziativen Gehalt möglich, den die mythische Folie innerhalb der griechischen Erzähltradition mit sich bringt. Es wäre zu einfach, Herodots Verwendung mythischer Folien als bewusste auktoriale Intention zu deuten. Somit ist auch die hier geleistete Rekonstruktion eines mythisch-rituellen Bezugsfelds ein notwendiger Bestandteil zum Verständnis Herodots, der weniger als "Vater der Geschichtsschreibung" denn als Erbe einer Geschichtentradition erscheint.

Abstract

Twentieth century commentaries on Herodotus' passages on Nubia, the historical kingdom of Kush and the Aithiopia of the Greek tradition, rely mostly on an outdated and biased interpretation of the textual and archaeological evidence. Disputing both the Nubia image of twentieth century Egyptology and the Herodotus interpretation of traditional Quellenkritik , the author traces back the Aithiopian information that was available to Herodotus to a discourse on Kushite kingship created under the Nubian pharaohs of the Twenty-Fifth Dynasty and preserved in the Ptah sanctuary at Memphis. Insufficient for a self-contained Aithiopian logos, the information acquired by Herodotus complements and supports accounts of the land, origins, customs and history of other peoples and bears a relation to the intention of the actual narrative contexts into which the author of The Histories inserted it.

Abstract

"Brill's Companion to the Reception of Herodotus in Antiquity and Beyond offers new insights on the reception and cultural transmission of one of the most controversial and influential texts to have survived from Classical Antiquity. Herodotus' Histories has been adopted, adapted, imitated, contested, admired and criticized across diverse genres, historical periods, and geographical boundaries. This companion, edited by Jessica Priestley and Vasiliki Zali, examines the reception of Herodotus in a range of cultural contexts, from the fifth century BC to the twentieth century AD. The essays consider key topics such as Herodotus' place in the Western historiographical tradition, translation of and scholarly engagement with the Histories, and the use of the Histories as a model for describing and interpreting cultural and geographical material. Contributors are: Eran Almagor, Christopher A. Baron, Benjamin Earley, Adam Foley, Vivienne Gray, Greta Hawes, Kinga Kosmala, Dennis Looney, John Marincola, Neville Morley, Heather Neilson, Jessica Priestley, Félix Racine, Andreas Schwab, Benjamin Eldon Stevens, Olga Tribulato, Marek Wecowski, and Vasiliki Zali"--

Abstract

Herodotus' Histories is the first major surviving prose work from antiquity. Its range of interests is immense, covering the whole of the known world and much beyond, and it culminates in a detailed account of the Persian Wars of the early fifth century BC. Moreover, research has shown that Herodotus is a sophisticated and at times even ironic narrator, and a pioneer and serious practitioner of historical research at a time when the Greeks' traditions about their past were still the fluid transmissions and memories of a largely oral society. This Companion provides a series of accessible chapters, written by distinguished scholars, illuminating many aspects of Herodotus' work: his skill in language and his narrative art; his intellectual preconceptions; his working methods and techniques; his attitude towards nature and the gods; his attitude towards foreign cultures and peoples; and his view of human life and human history.
