We will read
selections from the three most important ancient Greek historians, with an
emphasis on Thucydides, but relevant passages from Herodotus and Polybius will
be included. Emphasis will be placed on the use each historian makes of a)
narrative of events; b) authorial judgment as expressed in the text; c)
depiction of characters who are major decision makers; d) speeches that each
author depicts individuals inside the text making. The time will be arranged at
our first meeting. Class size: 12
