Abstract

Diodor stellt in seinem Werk »Bibliotheke« die gesamte Geschichte vom Beginn der Menschheit bis in seine eigene Zeit dar und nimmt dabei die ganze bekannte Welt in den Blick. An diesen Anspruch eines »Erzählens von Welt« knüpft Mario Baumanns Untersuchung in doppelter Weise an: Zum einen greift er aus den erhaltenen Teilen der »Bibliotheke« die Bücher 1–5 als Thema heraus, die wie in einer großen Exposition die Welt als Raum der Geschichte vorstellen. Zum anderen rückt er die Erzählweise des Werks in den Mittelpunkt seiner Analyse und zeigt auf, wie die Lektüre des Textes bis heute Genuss bereitet.

Abstract

Presents and contextualises extracts from the Historical Library of Diodorus.

There are only a few detailed histories of Persia from Ancient Greek historiography that have survived time. Diodorus of Sicily, a first century BC author, is the only one to have written a comprehensive history (the Bibliotheca Historica or Historical Library) in which more than cursory attention is paid to Persia. The Bibliotheca Historica covers the entire period from Persia's prehistory until the arrival of the Parthians from the East and that of Roman power throughout Asia Minor and beyond from the West, around 750 years after Assyrian rule ended.

Diodorus' contribution to our knowledge of Persian history is therefore of great value for the modern historian of the Ancient Near East and in this book Jan Stronk provides the first complete translation of Diodorus' account of the history of Persia. He also examines and evaluates both Diodorus' account and the sources he used to compose his work, taking into consideration the historical, political and archaeological factors that may have played a role in the transmission of the evidence he used to acquire the raw material underlying his Bibliotheca.

Abstract

Living in Rome during the last years of the Republic, Diodorus of Sicily produced the most expansive history of the ancient world that has survived from antiquity--the Bibliotheke. Whereas Diodorus himself has been commonly seen as a "mere copyist" of earlier historical traditions, Kenneth Sacks explores the complexity of his work to reveal a historian with a distinct point of view indicative of his times.Sacks focuses on three areas of Diodorus's history writing: methods of organization and style, broad historical and philosophical themes, and political sentiments. Throughout, Diodorus introduced his own ideas or refashioned those found in his sources. In particular, his negative reaction to Roman imperial rule helps to illuminate the obscure tradition of opposition historiography and to explain the shape and structure of the Bibliotheke. Viewed as a unified work reflecting the intellectual and political beliefs of the late Hellenistic period, the Bibliotheke will become an important source for interpreting first-century moral, political, and intellectual values.Originally published in 1990.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

Abstract

Diodor verfasste eine Historische Bibliothek in 40 Büchern, mit denen er seinen Lesern zur Zeit Caesars einen Überblick über alle Ereignisse von der mythischen Vorzeit bis in seine Tage geben wollte. Auch wenn nur etwas mehr als die Hälfte hiervon erhalten ist, so stellt sein Werk beispielsweise für den Frühhellenismus die einzige erzählende Quelle dar. Die Bedeutung der Historischen Bibliothek ist daher unbestritten. Jedoch hat die Forschung Diodors Qualitäten als Autor seit dem 19. Jahrhundert geringgeschätzt; Mommsen nannte ihn einen „geistlosen Kompilator". Lange war die Historische Bibliothek nur ein Steinbruch für die Forschung, aus dem man die nicht mehr vorhandenen Geschichtswerke des Hellenismus zu rekonstruieren versuchte. Zwar hat sich in den letzten Jahren die Bewertung Diodors gebessert, allerdings wurden meist nur einzelne Passagen betrachtet. Die vorliegende Studie nimmt erstmals unvoreingenommen das gesamte Werk in den Blick, löst sich von den bisherigen Methoden der Diodorforschung und nimmt ihn als eigenständig gestaltenden Historiographen wahr. Dieses Vorgehen eröffnet eine neue Perspektive auf den Autor, seine Gestaltungsabsichten und auf die Kernaussage seiner Universalgeschichte. Previous research saw Diodorus as an author with modest intellect and a working technique of equal mediocrity, just capable enough of reconstructing forgotten historical works from the Hellenistic period. This study reveals a serious historiographer who brought an entirely original perspective to his "universal history", based on his own background, talent, and training, especially as he presented heroic figures, such as Alexander the Great.

Abstract

The 'Bibliotheke' of Diodoros of Sicily is the most voluminous Greek historiographical text from the pre-Christian era, and contains the only preserved continuous account of Classical Greek history; for many aspects of this history, such as the events in Sicily, the rise of Macedon under Philip II or the history of the Successors, it is our main or only source. It is thus often used as a source by ancient historians, and a great deal of energy has been spent on identifying which sources Diodoros himself used. Interest in Diodoros as an author in his own right, however, is a comparatively recent phenomenon. The contributors to this volume, junior scholars as well as leading international experts, set out to confront the old and new approaches to Diodoros, studying his first century BC context, questions of genre and purpose, his relationship to his predecessors, composition and narrative technique, the role of the gods and myth in the work, the use of speeches, and Diodoros' interest in themes like war, writing, language and politics. In so doing they offer exciting new insights into the 'Bibliotheke' and the development of Greek historiography, which in turn also shed important new light on the old question of Diodoros' value as a source.

Abstract

"This book involves a new historiographical study of the Hellenica Oxyrhynchia that defines its relationship with fifth- and fourth-century historical works as well as its role as a source of Diodorus' Bibliotheke. The traditional and common approach taken by those who studied the HO is primarily historical: scholars have focused on particular, often isolated, topics such as the question of the authorship, the historical perspective of the HO against other Hellenica from the 4th century BC. This book is unconventional in that it offers a study of the HO and fifth- and fourth-century historical works supported by papyrological enquiries and literary strategies, such as intertextuality and narratology, which will undoubtedly contribute to the progress of research in ancient historiography"--Provided by publisher.
