Herodotus as military historian

“ The Oldest ‘New’ Military Historians: Herodotos, W. G. Forrest, and the Historiography of War 

 Eugenia C. Kiesling

Abstract

Although neither Herodotus nor George W. G. Forrest is a military historian, both offer valuable models for that discipline. This chapter surveys key moments in the historiography of war, explaining why early military historians tended to misuse Herodotus and later ones to ignore him. Three trends in late 20th-century military history — the ‘new military history’, John Keegan's battle history, and the Thucydides revival in professional military education — would have benefited from consideration of Herodotus' work. On reflection, Herodotus turns out to have been a better military historian than generally acknowledged, while Thucydides, as Forrest himself pointed out in a little-known paper, has been overrated. Both were ahead of their peers in humanizing military history, and it is no accident that so many ancient military historians were students of Forrest.”

Eugenia C. Kiesling, PhD, is a professor of history at the United States Military Academyat West Point

William George Grieve Forrest (24 September 1925 – 14 October 1997), known as George Forrest, was a British classicist and academic. From 1977 to 1992, he was Wykeham Professor of Ancient History at the University of Oxford. Forrest was fiercely political and liberal in his views ("George was profoundly political, always a democrat and so, it followed naturally, always a socialist"[1]), and worked tirelessly to free Greece from the Greek military junta of 1967–1974.He was also a strong supporter of the campaign to return the Elgin Marbles to Athens and was one of the original members of the British Committee for the Reunification of the Parthenon Marbles.

Well, I am not a fan of the US Army, let alone of the last American wars around the globe, by Eugenia Kiesling (a professor of history in the military academy of the US) offers here a valuable perspective on Herodotus as military historian- in a homage to an eminent late British historian who was self-described as democratic socialist (and, moreover, he was a friend of modern Greece).

Anlässlich einer Tausendundeiner-Nacht-bezogenen Lektüre, die in der hoffnungsvoll bald vorkommenden Leseliste auftauchen wird, war mir einmal wieder nach dem Kismet-Musical, einer Extase aus Lied, Spektakel und Liebe in Cinemascope und Farbe. Wie so oft.

A mother's word for word transcription of the imaginary phone call her four-year-old made to Santa Claus in 1911.

(source: The Harbor Beach Times, December 22, 1911.)

Through some outrageous case of serendipity I found a recording of another phone call this same child made 60 years later. Though I have to say his choice of conversational partner is a definite downgrade from the first call.

#I've started using 'our bees are all dead' as my standard filler during lulls in conversation #and no I am not kidding #that is actually 64 year old George Arthur Lincoln in the recording #I'm writing up a bio of him that will hopefully be up within a few days #because this kid grew up to be involved in Forrest Gump levels of 20th century historical events #he was the youngest american general in wwii and was involved in the strategy of d-day and the planned invasion of Japan #he was at yalta and potsdam #he started a social sciences department at West Point #which resulted in his students being called commies because why should soldiers study culture and economics instead of shoot gun at thing #he ended up as the director of the office of emergency preparedness while nixon was president - hence the phone call #this poor man had to sit through so many meetings with Henry Kissinger #his younger brother (Waunce from the letter) was also a general #they were known as 'big abe' and 'little abe'

Not Since Nineveh is actually my favorite track from Kismet, but I guess the specificity of the lyrics puts the kibosh on its popularity as a cover choice. Wish there were more cross-genre ensemble covers like this one, though. I guess the composition just demands that big band swag too much?

(For potential link rot purposes, this is the Percy Faith Orchestra cover of Not Since Nineveh from the musical Kismet)

Herodotus and his World

Herodotus and his World: Essays from a Conference in Memory of George Forrest

Peter Derow and Robert Parker

ABSTRACT

This book contains detailed studies of a number of individual passages and episodes (which always turn out to have wider ramifications for the understanding of Herodotus or for the history of the archaic and classical Greek world, or both) as well as considerations of wider themes (perceptions of ethnicity and ideas of ‘tradition’, of historical space and about the origins of history). Topics included are: prophecy, oracle-selling, and resurrection, and also narrative management and the prosaics of death. The Herodotean chronology is revisited. There are also accounts on epiphany, and of why Herodotus did not mention the Hanging Gardens and why he has not been taken as seriously as he should have been by military historians. Finally, the book examines Cleisthenes and Cleomenes, Argos and Corinth, and Athens and its democracy.
