The new work of the famous Russian historian I. E. Surikov is the first and so far the only full-scale study devoted to the “pre-herodotus” ancient Greek historiography of the 2nd sex. VI is the 1st floor. V century BC. This is the period when history was occupied by people who are not quite accurately called in the scientific literature “logographers”. The names of one of them - Hecataeus of Miletus, Hellanicus of Lesbos, Xanthos of Lydia - are even more or less on hearing, but even most specialists will say little about others, such as Acousilaus of Argos, Ferekides of Athens or Dionysius of Miletus. And if Herodotus is called the “father of history”, then the galaxy of his predecessors will quite rightly be called the “forefathers of history”. The author carefully analyzes all the information about these authors in the sources and analyzes their work in detail in the cultural context of the era.

The publication is addressed to professional historians, students of the humanities faculties of universities, as well as everyone who is interested in the history and culture of Ancient Greece.
