Exploring the enduring influence of ancient Greek history, this work examines how interpretations have evolved over the last three centuries, reflecting contemporary societal changes, revolutions, and conflicts. It provides a fresh history of Greek historiography from the Enlightenment onward, highlighting often-overlooked historians and emphasizing the complexities of democracy and the intertwined nature of European heritage. The book also addresses the significance of Greek thought during totalitarian regimes and proposes future directions for studying Greek contributions within a global context.

How the modern world has understood the ancient Greeks and why they matter today The study of ancient Greek history has been central to the western conception of history since the Renaissance. The Muse of History traces the shifting patterns of this preoccupation in the last three centuries, in which each generation has reinterpreted the Greeks in the light of their contemporary world, through times of revolution, conflicting ideologies and warfare. It aims to offer a new history of Greek historiography from the Enlightenment to the present, and to acknowledge the continuing spiritual importance of the ancient Greeks for European culture in the twentieth century under totalitarian persecutions. Through the study of different historians, many of them unjustly forgotten, it shows the problematic nature of the Anglo-Saxon tradition and the importance of ideas from the continent of Europe, the ambiguities of democracy, and the impossibility of understanding the past or the present outside our common European heritage. It ends by offering suggestions for the future of the study of the Greeks in the context of world history.
