Studies in Historia
This dissertation consists of four chapters plus introduction and conclusion. Each chapter is an independent study of some of the uses and meanings of the ÎčÏÏÎżÏ-vocabulary in Archaic and Classical Greek literature, excluding tragedy. In the Introduction the theme of the dissertation is introduced and the two methodological approaches relied on, Cambridge history of ideas and Begriffsgeschichte, are discussed. Chapter I deals with the earliest available material, with particular emphasis on the proem of Herodotus' Histories. Among the questions it tries to answer is whether any of the early uses of the ÎčÏÏÎżÏ- vocabulary gives a key to Herodotus' use of ÎčÏÏÎżÏÎŻÎ·. Chapter II takes a closer look at Herodotus' practice in the Histories by analysing his uses of ÎčÏÏÎżÏÎŻÎ· and ÎčÏÏÎżÏÎ"áżÎœ. These uses are largely confined to book II, the Egyptian logos. This chapter also deals with the uses of the ÎčÏÏÎżÏ- vocabulary in some of the medical writings, particularly On Ancient Medicine and the Hellenistic sect known as the Empiricists. Chapter III is a detailed enquiry into the uses of the ÎčÏÏÎżÏ-vocabulary in the only treatises of the Hippocratic collection that use it to any substantial
