Through a careful study of the surviving fragmentary evidence, Giovanni Parmeggiani throws new light on the lost Histories of the fourth-century BC Greek historian Ephorus of Cyme, the first, according to Polybius, to have written a universal history.

Between Thucydides and Polybius focuses on the contribution of fourth-century authors such as Ephorus, Theopompus, and Xenophon to the development of Greek historiography. Essays examine the interface between historiography and rhetoric, while undermining the claim that historians after Thucydides allowed rhetoric to prevail over research.
