The present volume derivesits inspiration from the papers presented at the 10 th Conferenceofthe International Plutarch Society,titled Space,Time and LanguageinPlutarch'sV isions of Greek Culture: Introversion, Imperial Cosmopolitanism and Other Formso fI nteraction with the Past and Present,which was held at the European Cultural Center at Delphi, 16 -18 May2014. Our choice of Delphi as avenue for the meeting was closelyc onnected with Plutarch'sl ong-standing and deep ties with the city and its sanctuary:ties which extended from his visit to Delphi with his teacher Ammonius on the occasion of Nero'st our of Greecei n6 7( TheEat Delphi 385B) to his electiona so ne of the two permanent priests of the shrine (perhaps in Trajan's reign),¹ down to the reign of Hadrian,when as epimelete of the Delphic Amphictyony he supervised the erection of astatue for the emperor(Dittenberger, Syll.

This book is the first monograph devoted to the reception of Herodotus among Imperial Greek writers. Using a broad reception model and focused largely on texts outside of historiography proper, the book analyzes the entanglements of criticism and imitation in select works by Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Plutarch, Dio Chrysostom, Lucian, and Pausanias. It offers a new angle on Herodotus’s intellectual afterlife, channeled through evocations both explicit and implicit in literary criticism, the moral essay, public oration, satire, and periegetic literature. The book shifts focus from reputation only—what ancient authors explicitly had to say about Herodotus—toward the kinetic interrelation between Herodotus’s reputation and his active reworking across genre and mode. It demonstrates how Herodotus was strategically construed and often implicitly summoned—as fabulist, classicist, moralizer, and evasive intellectual—and how such Herodotean presences played to the wider purposes of Imperial writers. Herodotus became a touchstone for writers concerned with a nimbus of questions that the Histories first helped to articulate. Imperial Greeks found Herodotus useful in puzzling through questions of authorial persona, mimesis, the relationship between aesthetic and ethical criticism, the self, and the contingent definitions of Hellenism under Rome. Ultimately, the book widens an incomplete reception history and reads bi-focally, examining how attention to the presence of Herodotus in various texts unveils new layers of meaning in those works, while also showing how ancient receptions offer insight into the Histories.
