The book explores battle narratives in Herodotus's Histories, emphasizing their connection to mid-fifth-century wisdom performance culture. It argues that the narratives of Salamis and Plataea are shaped by Athenian biases and ideologies, while the Thermopylae account resonates with the audience at the Pythian Festival. This analysis highlights how cultural contexts influence historical storytelling and audience perception in ancient Greece.
