Ethnicity and Identity in Herodotus by Thomas Figueira

Herodotus is the epochal authority who inaugurated the Western consciousness of collective identity. In this book fourteen contributors explore ethnicity - the very self-understanding of belonging to a body of human beings - through the lens of Herodotus as our earliest master of ethnography.

"[T]he collection as a whole succeeds admirably in shedding light on how Herodotus as a historian thinks about and even helps construct ethnic identity among the many Greek and non-Greek peoples in the Histories" - The Classical Review

Thomas Figueira is Distinguished Professor of Classics and of Ancient History at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, USA.

Carmen Soares is Professor (Professora Catedrática) of Classics of the University of Coimbra, Portugal, and Scientific Coordinator of the Center for Classical and Humanistic Studies of the same university.
