Description

Phillip Harding presents the first English translations of six Athenian writers known as the Atthidographers, offering scholars and history enthusiasts direct access to invaluable ancient sources. This comprehensive volume examines the remaining fragments of these historical writers' work in chronological order, spanning the fifth and fourth century BC. These texts reveal essential information about early Athenian history, legend, religion, customs and anecdotes that shaped one of antiquity's greatest civilisations. Harding traces how these foundational histories of Athens influenced later surviving historians, providing crucial context for understanding how ancient Athenian narratives were preserved and transmitted through subsequent historical writings. Part of the Routledge Sourcebooks for the Ancient World series, this scholarly work serves as an essential reference for understanding primary source material on classical Athens.
