Cultural Politics in Polybius's Histories - Hellenistic Culture and Society
Craige Champion
Demonstrates that Polybius' work performs a literary and political balancing act of heretofore unappreciated subtlety and interest. This book shows how Polybius contrived to tailor his historiography for multiple audiences, comprising his fellow Greeks, whose freedom Rome had usurped in his own generation, and the Roman conquerors.
