Greek and Roman Historians by Michael Grant
Grant shows us how the historians of antiquity routinely try to deceive, but he argues for the continuing vital importance of their work, and offers new ways of reading and interpreting it. An indispensible guide to using source-material.`Sources and indifference to economic and social history, and weakness.. are sympathetically discussed and the reputation of the ancients staunchly defended. An ideal introduction for the student.' - Greece & Rome
`It combines a great deal of useful information about the main literary sources for ancient history and about historiography as a literary genre, with some salutary warnings against taking those sources at face value.' - ?
Michael Grant is one of the world’s greatest writers of ancient history. He has a distinguished academic career, most recently as Vice-Chancellor of Queen’s University, Belfast, and has published over fifty books, including The Antonines (Routledge 1994).
