Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex ways in which Greek authors cited and quoted other writers from the sixth to the fourth centuries BCE. These writers primarily relied on memory, as opposed to written notes, to recall and incorporate the works of others into their own. The author first examines how Herodotus and Thucydides, the first Greek historians, each developed unique approaches to citing earlier sources. The author then moves on to explore how these methods were further developed by Plato and his contemporaries. Through careful analysis of specific examples, the book reveals the subtle ways in which the practice of citation evolved in its earliest stages, from simple references to more complex and creative forms of engagement with source material. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
