Description
Summary:This article deals with Polybius' view of history in general and with his narration of human action in particular. The argument starts from recent opinions that his narrations are influenced by Aristotelian conception and expounds the problems of his supposed incoherent conception of narration. This paper argues against these opinions and for a rather coherent conception of Polybius' narration of human action, which is strongly influenced by stoic and middle-stoic ethical doctrine.
