This volume brings together scholars from various areas (history, philology, linguistics, history of political ideas) and attempts a fresh survey of current trends in the analysis of Thucydides'' historical narrative. Individual contributions range from a general outlook of Thucydides'' historical and historiographical concepts to detailed analysis of narrative strategies, linguistic features and stylistic devices. Special attention is given to questions such as the representation of character, the role of individuals, the interaction between leaders and masses in Athenian democracy, the construction of speeches in Thucydides'' work, etc. The analysis of language, style and narrative properties is related to the construction of meaning according to current standards of textual analysis and interpreation.
"In conclusion, after the reissue of the most influential articles in Rusten’s Oxford Readings and the refreshing reassessment of well-known topics in Rengakos and Tsakmakis’ Brill’s Companion, the present volume is another important collective volume on Thucydides: it is a good introduction to new trends in Thucydidean scholarship and a proof of their interpretative fertility."
