N2  - "Biography is one of the most widespread literary genres worldwide. This book offers the first wide-ranging, multi-authored survey on biography in Antiquity from its earliest representatives to Late Antiquity. It aims to be a broad introduction and a reference tool on the one hand and to move significantly beyond the state-of-the-art on the other. To this double end, it addresses conceptual questions about this sprawling genre, provides both in-depth readings of key-texts and diachronic studies, and deals with the reception of ancient biography in subsequent eras up to today. In addition, it approaches the concept of ancient biography more widely than other reference tools on the topic have done. It does this by examining biographical depictions in different textual and visual media and by providing outlines of biographical developments in ancient and late antique cultures other than the Graeco-Roman one"
