This is the first general study of the earliest writers of Greek prose. It looks at history, medicine, science, philosophy and rhetoric and asks why and how these new genres of writing came about in the fifth and fourth centuries BCE. It is thus a study of the Greek enlightenment, exploring how literary history and social and political history interact.Goldhill, Simon is the author of 'Invention of Prose' with ISBN 9780198525233 and ISBN 0198525230.
