Lisa Irene Hau is Lecturer in Classics at the University of Glasgow. She is the author of Beyond the Battlefields: New Perspectives on Warfare and Society in the Graeco-Roman World (2008). She is a contributor to Defining Greek Narrative edited by Douglas Cairns and Ruth Scodel (EUP, 2014).
Moral History from Herodotus to Diodorus Siculus shows the
invigorating power of history for both ethical and political life.
Hau's novel, lucid, and cogent arguments should inspire students of
ancient political thought to widen their consideration of ancient
history even as it invigorates their moral lives towards nobler
exempla... Hau's trove of discoveries about the techniques and
strategies of these moral historians should hasten even more work
on the implications of these lessons for social and political life.
Moral History from Herodotus to Diodorus Siculus is certainly
invigorating.--Joel Alden Schlosser, Bryn Mawr College "POLIS, The
Journal for Ancient Greek Political Thought"
The bibliography, the place index, and the general index (p.
278-312) round off the book, which is also designed in a
graphically appealing manner. Overall, Hau's comprehensive work
provides thought-provoking and interesting suggestions. (Translated
from the German)--Carlo Scardino, Heinrich-Heine-Universit�t
