Greek Historical Writing And Apollo - Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff - Bog

The book ""Greek Historical Writing And Apollo: Two Lectures Delivered Before The University Of Oxford"" is a collection of two lectures delivered by Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff. The lectures focus on the relationship between Greek historical writing and the god Apollo. The first lecture explores the role of Apollo in Greek historical writing and how the god was used to legitimize historical events and figures. The second lecture examines the influence of Apollo on the development of Greek historical writing and how the god's cult influenced the way history was written in ancient Greece. The lectures provide insights into the intersection of religion and history in ancient Greece and shed light on the cultural and intellectual context in which Greek historical writing emerged. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of ancient history, religion, and literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
