This original survey explores the ways in which non-historical texts as well as historical ones can be used to construct Greek historical accounts. It examines the fifth century authors Demosthenes, Lysias and Thucydides, as well as Greek tragedy and comedy.

Written by a highly interdisciplinary range of contributors, New Worlds from Old Texts explores ancient Greek perceptions of space, and how they may have differed from the modern cartographic view.
