- W2398925037 abstract "This collection of essays investigates whether the producers and consumers of histories in the ancient world believed in their stories about the past and the extent to which they were committed to their truth. Drawing from modern debates over the writing and status of history, growing interest in cultural memory, and philosophical approaches to more relaxed notions of truth, the papers revisit the truth claims of Greek historiography in the context of other cultural uses of the past. While the historiographers insist on the truthfulness of their accounts, they equally purport to believe in myth, distort facts for moralising or other purposes; lyric poets make highly competitive truth claims while acknowledging the plurality of myth; tragedy, which creates versions of a shared past that are often sharply at variance with one another, has been co-opted both as a repository of cultural memory and as a paradigm for storytelling and fictionality. To address these problems, the book explores the hypothesis of a pluralistic concept of truth, one where different versions of the same historical event can all be true, or where there are different kinds of truths, or modes of belief that can vary across cultures." @default.
