About this document
The Role of λόγιος in Herodotus by Anonymous Jj8TqcVDTy is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes an article that discusses the meaning of the Greek term "logios" as it is used by Herodotus and other Greek authors. It argues that the term originally referred to community members seen as authoritative, but over time came to imply a sense of being old-fashioned. The term also came to be used almost exclusively in reference to non-Greeks. Recent interpretations that define "logioi" as specialists of oral tradition or oral history are rejected.
