Abstract

In his Histories, Herodotus of Halicarnassus gave an account of Xerxes' invasion of Greece (480 BCE). Among the information in this work features a rich topography of the places visited by the army, as well as of the battlefields. Apparently there existed a certain demand among the Greeks to behold the exact places where they believed that the Greeks had fallen, gods had appeared, or Xerxes had watched over his men.This book argues that Herodotus' topography, long taken at face value as if it provided unambiguous access to the historical sites of the war, may partly be a product of Greek imagination in the approximately fifty years between the Xerxes' invasion and its publication, with the landscape functioning as a catalyst. This innovative approach leads to a new understanding of the topography of the invasion, and of the ways in which Greeks in the late fifth century BCE understood the world around them. It also prompts new suggestions about the real-world locations of various places mentioned in Herodotus' text.

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.
