In Ancient Greek Historians, eminent British scholar J. B. Bury sets out to trace the genesis and development of the historical literature of the Greeks. The work is arranged chronologically, with several chapters addressing the legend-based writing of early Greek historiography before discussing the more scientific approach to history writing taken by major figures like Herodotus, Thucydides, and Polybius. Originally developed as a series of lectures for Harvard University, the publication of Ancient Greek Historians has remained a standard in the field.
