42. HARRISON: Herodotus In Hollywood
    Herodotus and The English Patient. Thomas Harrison. University of St. Andrews Moregenerally, Herodotus provides the framework for the structure of the film.  
    http://www.ucd.ie/~classics/98/Harrison98.html
    
    Extractions: University College Dublin, Ireland University of St. Andrews 'This history of mine', Herodotus says, 'has from the beginning sought out the supplementary to the main argument.' What you find in him are cul-de-sacs within the sweep of history - how people betray each other for the sake of nations, how people fall in love.... So says the English Patient in Michael Ondaatje's novel. For the thousands inspired by Anthony Minghella's Oscar-winning film of Ondaatje's novel to rush out and buy a copy of the 'Father of History', the epic sweep of the Histories The English Patient - I will be treating the book and film as a seamless whole - are more than just the sum of a number of references. Both the structure of The English Patient and some of its themes find echoes in the Histories. The interplay between the two is often, however, intangible and certainly cannot always, or possibly ever, be put down to conscious allusion. Candaules' end comes about, however, because of the excessive passion of Candaules for his wife : 'this Candaules fell in love with his own wife', Herodotus' account begins, as if there were something inherently surprising in this.

43. DEROW: Herodotus

    http://www.ucd.ie/~classics/95/Derow95.html
    
    Extractions: Oxford Herodotus and his histories have been the subject of much inquiry, which is as it should be. Amidst all this inquiry, it is pleasing to find that two of the very shortest books about Herodotus are also two of the very best. One, called economically 'Herodotus', was written by John Gould and appeared in 1989. The other was published by Charles Fornara in 1971. The title is longer - 'Herodotus, an interpretative essay' - but the book is shorter. Shorter because its task is more circumscribed. Fornara does not aim to tell us about the Histories as a whole. He aims rather to explain why Herodotus wrote them, or why he wrote them the way he did. There is a lot more about Herodotus and his world in Gould's book, but the question of why Herodotus wrote is there, too, and the answer he comes to is a different one. I have myself always liked Fornara's little book and so welcome the idea of taking this chance to revisit in a positive way some of what he said. I do not have in mind to set one book against the other in detail, for I suspect that in the end we are not talking contradiction in any strong form. Not that the truth lies somewhere in the middle - this is not something truth often does - rather that there are two truths, the question being one of emphasis, or viewpoint. Nor do I have in mind to reinstate Fornara tel quel . That would not be very interesting, and, besides, I have one or two doubts there as well. All the same, I think that in the end Fornara's truth, or at least a main import of his Herodotus will remain, for me, prepollent.

    Extractions: Letter to Herodotus Epicurus Epicurus to Herodotus, greetings: For those who are unable to study carefully all my physical writings or to go into the longer treatises at all, I have myself prepared an epitome of the whole system, Herodotus, to preserve in the memory enough of the principal doctrines, to the end that on every occasion they may be able to aid themselves on the most important points, so far as they take up the study of Physics. Those who have made some advance in the survey of the entire system ought to fix in their minds under the principal headings an elementary outline of the whole treatment of the subject. For a comprehensive view is often required, the details but seldom. To the former, then - the main heads - we must continually return, and must memorize them so far as to get a valid conception of the facts, as well as the means of discovering all the details exactly when once the general outlines are rightly understood and remembered; since it is the privilege of the mature student to make a ready use of his conceptions by referring every one of them to elementary facts and simple terms. For it is impossible to gather up the results of continuous diligent study of the entirety of things, unless we can embrace in short formulas and hold in mind all that might have been accurately expressed even to the minutest detail. Hence, since such a course is of service to all who take up natural science, I, who devote to the subject my continuous energy and reap the calm enjoyment of a life like this, have prepared for you just such an epitome and manual of the doctrines as a whole.

    Extractions: To Course Notes Menu Herodotus by John Porter, University of Saskatchewan Notice: Background Readings For a general overview of readings from Herodotus, consult the Outline of Herodotus, The Histories, Books 1, 6.48ff., 7, and 8. For select readings from Herodotus' Histories, see the Selections from Herodotus by Lewis Stiles in the collection of translations of Classical authors. Introduction Herodotus' Histories Today Herodotus is referred to (somewhat inaccurately) as the Father of History; in antiquity, by contrast, he was often called the Father of Lies. This evaluation is based in part on Herodotus' pro-Athenian biases ( discussed below ), but to a great degree it represents a reaction to the curious "tall tales" in which his work abounds: stories, e.g., of gold-digging ants the size of foxes (3.102-05); of races of people bald from birth (4.23) or with the feet of goats (4.25) or with only one eye (4.26); [

46. Herodotus' Conception Of Foreign Languages
    Herodotus' Conception of Foreign Languages*. Thomas Harrison (University College,London). Introduction. 1. Herodotus' knowledge of foreign languages.  
    http://www.dur.ac.uk/Classics/histos/1998/harrison.html
    
    Extractions: In one of the most famous passages in his Histories , Herodotus has the Athenians give the reasons why they would never betray Greece (8.144.2): first and foremost, the images and temples of the gods, burnt and requiring vengeance, and then 'the Greek thing', being of the same blood and the same language, having common shrines and sacrifices and the same way of life. With race or blood, and with religious cult, language appears as one of the chief determinants of Greek identity. This impression is confirmed in Herodotus' accounts of foreign peoples: language is - with religious customs, dress, hairstyles, sexual habits - one of the key items on Herodotus' checklist of similarities and differences with foreign peoples. That language was an important element of what, to a Greek, it meant to be a Greek, should not perhaps be thought surprising. As is well known, the Greeks called non-Greeks barbaroi , a term usually taken to refer pejoratively to the babble of foreign speech.

47. Herodotus And The North Carolina Oral Narrative Tradition
    Herodotus and the North Carolina Oral Narrative Tradition. They lack, therefore,Herodotus' distinctive notion of comparative history and ethnography.  
    http://www.dur.ac.uk/Classics/histos/1997/stadter.html
    
    Extractions: [Editor's Note: See also the response by John Marincola As scholars who live among books, we find it difficult to imagine the cultural world and the intellectual activity of people to whom books represented a very small part of their way of knowing the world, and a relatively new way to communicate with others or to preserve one's knowledge. In studying the beginnings of literature in the Greek world, our focus has been on the development of the epic tradition and its fixation in written texts, and more recently on the culture that lies behind the creation and performance of lyric poetry and elegy. The oral pre-history of Greek prose has been relatively neglected, although the work of Aly early in the century and of others like Lang, Murray, Thomas, and Evans on oral tradition and Herodotus in the last decade have indicated more work to be done. However we are still far from placing Herodotus and his work securely in their cultural milieu. It is here where I believe some comparative study of the quite different narrative tradition of the North Carolina mountains can be helpful. Recent work on early Greek oral tradition has been especially influenced by the work of Vansina and Finnegan on African oral traditions.

48. East Is East And West Is West - Or Are They? National Stereotypes In Herodotus
    Examination of the contrast between barbarians and Greeks in Herodotus.  
    http://www.dur.ac.uk/Classics/histos/1997/pelling.html
    
    Extractions: [This paper started life on 23 February, 1995, given as one of an informal Oxford series on 'boundaries'. The purpose of the seminar was to stimulate discussion, and to give researchers an outline of developments in fields with which they might be unfamiliar. Those purposes suit Histos too, and so the paper is given here in its raw, unfootnoted, oral state, with only a few local pleasantries suppressed. Comments are invited, either via Histos or directly to christopher.pelling@lithum.ox.ac.uk . They will then be taken into account before a more formal version appears in the printed Histos. Boundaries in Herodotus: a generation ago the book to talk about would have been H.R. Immerwahr's Form and Thought in Herodotus (Cleveland, Ohio, 1966). Immerwahr emphasised the importance of natural boundaries in Herodotus' narrative, and pointed out how often disastrous campaigns begin with a river-crossing, as tyrants transgress or try to change this barrier imposed by nature. Cyrus at the Gyndes - threatening to bring it low, cutting it into channels and losing a year , 1.189 - is the most interesting early example, though not the most straightforward. All leads up to the greatest transgressions of nature of them all, Xerxes' abuse of the Hellespont and its narrative twin at Athos: Xerxes turns sea into land (the Hellespont) and land into sea (Athos), and we know he will not prosper. It can indeed be shown how 'land and sea' work against him in several different ways, so that there is almost a magical dimension to his fall (cf. Pelling in

You expect better from the Classics Pages - so here are the facts. "Among a huge number of finds was the skeleton of a male wearing several items of jewellery: necklaces and bracelets made of jet [a semi-precious stone available locally], a shale armlet, and an expanding bronze anklet. He appears to have been buried with two pebbles in his mouth." The rest is speculation: as Sarah Kennedy said on Radio 2 this morning - "how do they know?" If he was a priest of Cybele - yes, an altar to Cybele was found at Corstopitum (Corbridge) further north on Hadrian's Wall - he would have been a eunuch - yes, a castration clamp has been found in London, - and he could well have worn a wig and female dress (but don't many Christian priests today wear sexually ambiguous robes?).

    Extractions: 484?-425? BC Called the father of history, Herodotus was one of the most widely traveled people of his time. His writings show his interest in both history and geography. Herodotus was born in Halicarnassus, a Greek colony in Asia Minor. He decided early in life to devote himself to literary pursuits. A frequent visitor to Athens, he was a close friend of Sophocles. He also journeyed to the western shores of the Black Sea, to southern Italy and Egypt, and to the Asian cities of Tyre, Babylon, Ecbatana, Nineveh, and Susa. Herodotus's great history seeks to combine a general history of the Greeks and non-Greeks with the history of the wars between the Greeks and Persians. He traces this conflict back to mythical times. Interwoven through the history are descriptions of the people and the countries he visited.

    Extractions: Help H istory is one of the least popular courses in high school. Even years after they have graduated, many people remember their high school history class they way they remember a bad dreamwith a shudder and gratitude that they finally woke up. Perhaps they blame "The Father of History"Herodotus? H erodotus would be greatly surprised at this sad state of affairs. For him the world was a fascinating and altogether remarkable place, and he developed the discipline of history as a tool for telling people about the marvelous things he had seen and heard in a life packed with travel and conversation. The stories he could, and did, tell! Many were so fabulous that some have called him "The Father of Lies". But that title rightfully belongs to another. Herodotus is everybody's favorite grandfather, ever ready with a story and, underneath the web of stories, something more; something that we now call "History". T his is a course for those who want to read real history, history before the educationists and textbook publishers have ruined it, history as it was meant to be, by its father. And it is a course for those who enjoy talking about what they have read with others, considering their opinions and responding to their ideas. It is a course, actually, for the people who are a little bit like Herodotus himself: in love with the world and the people in it; lovers of good talk and intriguing ideas; lovers of reading, and not afraid to try their own hand at writing.

And so things go on until a man stands forth as champion of the commonalty, and puts down the evil-doers. Straightway the author of so great a service is admired by all, and from being admired soon comes to be appointed king; so that here too it is plain that monarchy is the best government. Lastly, to sum up all in a word, whence, I ask, was it that we got the freedom which we enjoy? Did democracy give it us, or oligarchy, or a monarch? As a single man recovered our freedom for us, my sentence is that we keep to the rule of one. Even apart from this, we ought not to change the laws of our forefathers when they work fairly; for to do so is not well." III.83:

    Extractions: Ever since antiquity the Greek historian Herodotus (ca. 484Ð425 B.C.) has been called by some "the father of history" and by others "the father of lies." Although his History , recognized for its simple, flowing style and entertaining narrative, has been praised by ancient and modern alike, its trustworthiness has been questioned both in ancient and modern times. Several ancient writers accused Herodotus of intentional falsehood. Not until the sixteenth century did Herodotus recover from the verdicts passed on him. The 1502 Aldine edition represents the first printing of Herodotus in the original Greek. During the age of exploration, when foreign diplomats, missionaries, and explorers wrote back to their native countries of faraway lands and strange customs, their accounts were extraordinarily reminiscent of Herodotus both in style and in method, especially reports from travelers and explorers concerning the discovery of America. These accounts vindicated Herodotus, because they showed that one could travel abroad, tell strange stories, and inquire into past events without necessarily being a liar. New exploration often revealed customs even more extraordinary than those described by Herodotus, and the latest reports were eagerly anticipated by the public. Exhibit Home Page New World Books
