520    This book is a study of the various claims to authority 
       made by the ancient Greek and Roman historians throughout 
       their histories and is the first to examine all aspects of
       the historian's self-presentation. It shows how each 
       historian claimed veracity by imitating, modifying, and 
       manipulating the traditions established by his 
       predecessors. Beginning with a discussion of the tension 
       between individuality and imitation, it then categorises 
       and analyses the recurring topoi used to establish the 
       historian's authority: how he came to write history; the 
       qualifications he brought to the task; the inquiries and 
       efforts he made in his research; and his claims to possess
       a reliable character. By detailing how each historian used
       the tradition to claim and maintain his own authority, the
       book contributes to a better understanding of the complex 
       nature of ancient historiography.
