Publisher's Synopsis

Greek historiography engaged with past and present time-but how exactly did this engagement incorporate claims to knowing the future? Considering prognosis as rooted in historiographical temporalities, this volume reads historians from Herodotus to Appian with a view to exploring configurations of future time in the context of ancient and modern reflections on the historical as well as the ethical and political role of historiographical practice.
