Opis

Greek historiography engaged with past and present time; but how exactly did this engagement incorporate claims to knowing the future? Considering prognosis as rooted in historiographical temporalities this volume reads historians from Herodotus to Appian with a view to exploring configurations of future time in the context of ancient and modern reflections on the historical as well as the ethical and political role of historiographical practice.

Recenzje

"[...] diese Reihe an vorgelegten Einzelstudien [ist] bestens dafür geeignet, die Wechselwirkung von Vergangenheit und Zukunft, von ,vorhersehbaren' und ,unvorhersehbaren' Entwicklungen, von Determiniertheit und Kontingenz der Geschichte in antiken Texten nachzuvollziehen."
Felix K. Maier in: Historische Zeitschrift // BAND 306 / 2018, pp. 157-158
