About the lecture

In this module, we explore the opening sections of Thucydides’ history in which he outlines his historical method, and consider why it is that Thucydides has developed the reputation for being the Father of History among modern historians.

About the lecturer

Neville Morley is Professor of Ancient History at the University of Bristol, who has published widely on ancient economic and social history, the theory and methodology of history, and the historian Thucydides.

At present, he is working on a book on Karl Marx for the OUP Classics in Theory series, and developing new research projects on ecology and economics in the Roman world, as well as continuing to write articles on Thucydides and his reception and other topics.
