The 'Big Three' of Greek History; Herodotus, Thucydides, and Xenophon

Some of the questions to bear in mind when reading Greek History...
  • who writes history and and what gives them the authority to do so?
  • who is the intended audience of history?
  • what is history for?
  • why is the role of war, truth, morality, and religion in history?
  • how does history differ to tragedy, epic and other forms of literature?
