ABSTRACT
But how are we to find out about all of this? Well, first of all there are the Greek and Roman historians. They include some very remarkable writers, and I have written a book trying to point out just how remarkable they were.2 But I did not, I think, point out sufficiently just how different they were from what we, nowadays, believe that a
historian should be: just how different they were, that is to say, from modern historians.
