Description: Drawing on surviving fragments, the papers collected in this volume reconstruct both the ways in which Hellenistic biographers worked and the characteristics of their works. They investigate the texts? value as sources for cultural history and address the relation between biography and other genres. In so doing they show that biography was a form of historiography and even constituted an integral part of the era?s historiographical discourse.
