How the modern world understood the ancient Greeks and why they matter today.

"This majestic book by Oswyn Murray has been long and eagerly awaited...and its quality and scope exceed expectations." —Edith Hall, BBC History Magazine

The study of ancient Greece has been central to Western conceptions of history since the Renaissance. The Muse of History traces the shifting patterns of this preoccupation in the last three centuries, in which successive generations have reinterpreted the Greeks in the light of their contemporary worlds. Thus, in the eighteenth century, the conflict between Athens and Sparta became a touchstone in the development of republicanism, and in the nineteenth, Athens came to represent the democratic ideal. Amid the ideological conflicts of the twentieth century, the Greeks were imagined in an age of suffering, inspiring defenses against nationalism, Nazism, communism, and capitalism.

Oswyn Murray draws powerful conclusions from this historiography, using the ever-changing narrative of ancient Greece to illuminate grand theories of human society. Analyzing the influence of historians and philosophers including Hegel, Burckhardt, Nietzsche, and Braudel, Murray also considers how coming generations might perceive the Greeks. Along the way, The Muse of History offers rare behind-the-scenes glimpses of figures who shaped the study of ancient Greece, some devotedly cited to this day and others forgotten. We sit in on a class with Arnaldo Momigliano; meet Moses Finley after his arrival in England; eavesdrop on Paul Veyne, Jean-Pierre Vernant, and Pierre Vidal-Naquet; and rediscover Michel Foucault.

A thrilling work that rewrites established scholarly traditions and locates important ideas in unexpected places, The Muse of History reminds us that the meaning of the past is always made in and for the present.

如何现代世界理解古代希腊人及其为何在今天仍然重要。 “奥斯韦恩·穆雷博士的这部庄严著作备受期待已久且质量卓越，其范围超出了所有人的预期。” ——《BBC历史杂志》 古希腊的研究自文艺复兴以来一直是西方关于历史观念的核心。《历史之神》追溯了过去三百多年来这一偏好的变化轨迹，在此期间，每一代人都在当代世界的影响下重新解释了希腊人。因此，在18世纪，雅典与斯巴达之间的冲突成为了共和主义发展的衡量标准，在19世纪，雅典则代表了民主的理念。在20世纪的意识形态争斗中，古希腊人被想象为饱受苦难的时代，在这场斗争中，他们激起了对民族主义、纳粹主义、共产主义和资本主义的防御。 奥斯韦恩·穆雷从这一历史叙述中得出了有力的结论，他利用不断变化的古代希腊叙事来照亮人类社会的大理论。分析了包括黑格尔、布克哈特、尼采和布埃德勒在内的历史学家和哲学家的影响后，穆雷还考虑了下一代人可能如何看待古希腊。在本书中，《历史之神》提供了罕见的幕后视角，揭示了几位塑造了古代希腊研究的人物，其中有些人至今仍被认真引用，而另一些人则已被遗忘。我们在阿诺尔多·莫穆吉马尼上了一堂课；在摩西·芬斐勒抵达英国之前遇到了他；偷听了保罗·维耶斯、让-皮埃尔·文纳特和皮埃尔·瓦利纳克的耳语；重新发现了米歇尔·福科。 这是一部令人兴奋的作品，它重写已确立的学界传统，并将重要的思想置于意想不到的地方，《历史之神》提醒我们，过去的意义总是被建立并服务于当下。
