It considers how Greek historiography emerged from other Greek social practices, under the impetus of contact with the non-Greek world, especially Persia. The work of Herodotus, Thucydides, and Xenophon are examined against the backdrop of other ways of curating the past. In particular the concept of disembedding Greek historical consciousness is a primary focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Dillery, PhD (1989), The University of Michigan, is Professor of Classics at the University of Virginia.
