The fate of Polybius s ideas in antiquity
#1
Why was Polybius s method of descripting events (his "pragmatike historia" and
"apodeiktike " historia) caused little imitations by the following generations
of ancient historians, who, in general, preferred not to analyze the causes of political and military
events, but aimed mostly to produce a greater literary effect?
