Abstract
Griegos y romanos conectaron con su pasado, en
primer lugar, a través del poema épico. Éste, con
los recursos que eran propios del género poético,
caracterizó el modo de elaborar el relato historiográfico
posterior. Así, ficción y realidad fueron los
elementos que dieron forma a las historias que nos
dejaron griegos y romanos. Intentamos aquí ofrecer
las actitudes que los historiadores de Roma
asumieron a la hora de compatibilizar la ficción
con la evidencia, la fábula con la realidad, y su consecuencia
en el relato historiográfico.
Ancient Greeks and Romans knew about their past primarily through the epic poem. With the poetic resources typical of this genre, it went on to typify the way in which the historical report was made. In other words, both truth and fiction became elements giving form to the histories of Greek and Roman authors. In this paper, we explore the Roman historians’ attitudes in order to reconcile fiction with evidence, fable with fact and the consequences on the historical account
