This book is the first monograph devoted to the reception of Herodotus among Imperial Greek writers. Using a broad reception model and focused largely on texts outside of historiography proper, the book analyzes the entanglements of criticism and imitation in select works by Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Plutarch, Dio Chrysostom, Lucian, and Pausanias. It offers a new angle on Herodotus's intellectual afterlife, channeled through evocations both explicit and implicit in literary criticism, the moral essay, public oration, satire, and periegetic literature. The book shifts focus from reputation only-what ancient authors explicitly had to say about Herodotus-toward the kinetic interrelation between Herodotus's reputation and his active reworking across genre and mode. It demonstrates how Herodotus was strategically construed and often implicitly summoned-as fabulist, classicist, moralizer, and evasive intellectual-and how such Herodotean presences played to the wider purposes of Imperial writers. Herodotus became a touchstone for writers concerned with a nimbus of questions that the Histories first helped to articulate. Imperial Greeks found Herodotus useful in puzzling through questions of authorial persona, mimesis, the relationship between aesthetic and ethical criticism, the self, and the contingent definitions of Hellenism under Rome. Ultimately, the book widens an incomplete reception history and reads bi-focally, examining how attention to the presence of Herodotus in various texts unveils new layers of meaning in those works, while also showing how ancient receptions offer insight into the Histories.… (mehr)

Herodotus and his Histories were widely received in ancient times, with later authors offering a range of opinions, from great admiration to severe criticism, often for the same aspects. In his meritorious book, N. Bryant Kirkland traces the reception of Herodotus by authors of the imperial era. He does not limit himself to historians, but also explores various types of reception and imitation in other genres. Instead of providing a superficial treatment of a large number of texts arranged by themes and motifs, he chooses to offer detailed studies of individual authors and texts (p. 6). This approach yields convincing results, but it can be noted—if this is to be considered a criticism at all—that the chapters are quite self-contained and can be read as separate studies to some extent. It would have been nice to see more synthesis of the individual chapters than what is provided in the rather brief epilogue and the synopsis on the “Herodotean” at the end of the introduction (pp. 30-34).
