week 3 essay1

Task:

Write your own interpretative account of the evolution of historiography in either Greek or Roman civilization.

In your summary, indicate the contributions of your selection (be it Greek or Roman) to early historical scholarship. In other words, the essay is about Greek or Roman historians in the context in which they wrote their histories – the essay is not about the legacy of Greek or Roman historians today.

You may focus on one historian or a group of historians from either Greece or Rome. Many students often do little more than take notes from Breisach. This would be passable, but it is not what I am looking for. It is for this reason that you must also do outside research on the topic. Use Breisach, but use other sources as well. You should also trust yourself – use what you know to discuss something with which you may not be completely familiar.
