Abstract
Problems of Greek Historiography. The course is aimed at highlighting the most controversial and prominent problems in modern classical studies. The research seminar covers issues of Greek historiography. A special feature of the program is that it mainly addresses those issues that have survived a change in the research paradigm and examines the modern achievements of historical science in relation to a particular problem.
