Produktbeschreibung

The First Pagan Historian offers the first comprehensive account of Dares the Phyrgian, the infamous author of The History of the Destruction of Troy , tracing his afterlife from the late antique encyclopedist Isidore of Seville to Thomas Jefferson. Along the way, it reconstructs Dares' central place in longstanding debates over the nature of history, fiction, criticism, philology, and myth, from ancient Rome to the Enlightenment.
