Summary

Der Sammelband Herodot und das Persische Weltreich versammelt die Beitrage einer internationalen Tagung, die im November 2008 unter Beteiligung zahlreicher renommierter Wissenschafterinnen und Wissenschaftern aus Europa, Amerika und Australien in Innsbruck stattgefunden hat. Die Publikation steht im Kontext eines grosseren Forschungsvorhabens, das eine konzentrierte wissenschaftliche Beschaftigung mit jenem Teil der griechischen Historiographie zum Ziel hat, deren thematischer Fokus auf die historischen Welten des Alten Vorderasien gerichtet ist. Als Publikationsplattform dient die neu gegrundete Reihe Classica et Orientalia. Nach einer Auseinandersetzung mit dem Werk des Ktesias (CLeO 1) und dem Hof der Achameniden (CLeO 2) ist dies die dritte Publikation des Forschungsschwerpunktes. In insgesamt 33 Beitragen in deutscher und englischer Sprache werden Herodots Historien unter zahlreichen Gesichtspunkten einer kritischen Analyse unterzogen. Sie werden in diesem Zusammenhang nicht nur vor dem Hintergrund des altorientalischen Quellenmaterials ausgeleuchtet, sondern auch unter literaturwissenschaftlichen Gesichtspunkten ausgewertet. Herodotus and the Persian Empire comprises contributions of an international conference held in Innsbruck in November 2008, which was attended by renowned scholars from Europe, America and Australia. The volume is published within a larger context of research. Its preoccupation is centred on a scholarly discussion of the Greek historiography, focusing on the Historical World of Ancient Middle East. The newly established series Classica et Orientalia offers a stage of publication to such studies like Ktesias World (CLeO 1), The Achaemenid Court (CLeO 2) and Herodotus and the Persian Empire (CLeO 3). In the current volume, 33 contributors discuss Herodotus' Histories under various points of view, in essays written in English as well as German. On the basis of Ancient Near Eastern source material, the texts are analyzed within literary studies. (Harrassowitz Verlag 2010)
