Popularly known as the \'Father of History\', Herodotus is the first major prose writer in the history of Western literature whose work has survived in full. At a time when the ancient Greeks\' knowledge of the past relied on orally transmitted memories, he was a pioneering historical practitioner who explored the interplay of myth and history and the role of narrative in history. Contributors to this volume analyze Herodotus\' Histories and their influence. Taking a thematic approach, they explore the Histories and their context, techniques and themes, representation of the Greeks\' relationships with foreigners and reception.
