This book resituates the Histories' battle narratives within the context of Herodotus's participation in the mid-fifth-century culture of wisdom performance, arguing that the Salamis and Plataea narratives reflect the biases and ideologies of an Athenian audience, while Thermopylae reflects an audience gathered at the Pythian Festival.
