COURSE OBJECTIVES: Variously called the “father of history” and the “father of lies,” Herodotus and his work remains controversial for ancient historians. Nevertheless, he remains our primary source for much of eastern Mediterranean culture (Persia, Lydia, Egypt, Scythia, Greece) during the 6 th and 5 th centuries BCE. This course will undertake a close, critical reading of Herodotus’ Histories through various interpretive lenses.
