STATES OF MEMORY C

Drawing together recent work on memory theory and a wide range of ancient evidence, States of Memory argues that the Greeks who fought and later commemorated the Persian War very rarely recalled the war as Greeks. Instead they presented themselves as members of their respective city-states.

David Yates is an Associate Professor of Classics at Millsaps College and specializes in the history and historiography of archaic and classical Greece.
