Herodotus and Imperial Greek Literature

This book traces the intellectual influence of Herodotus among ancient Greek writers living under the Roman Empire.

Reviews

[Kirkland's] excellent study is a welcome addition to the scholarly discussion. Rather than chronicle moments of allusion or quotation, it instead wrestles with the complicated question of the historian's reputation and in the process offers a sophisticated methodology that readers will likely find of use well beyond the specific example of Herodotus' afterlife... As a well-edited and beautifully produced book, it is recommended reading for anyone interested in imperial Greek literature, Herodotus or reception studies.
