| Klíčová slova | Herodotus; ancient Greek historiography; perception |
| Popis | The current article deals with the perceptions of royal subjects and kings in two parallel situations, with a particular emphasis on the themes that Herodotus’ audience likely perceived in the stories. It also analyses the different nuances that the subjects and kings likely sensed in these situations, as well as what they probably failed to recognise, what prevented them, and what may have changed their perspective. In my view, these episodes indicate how the behaviour of kings, and their servants, is not determined by their personalities, but rather by the political systems to which they are subject. |
