Audiences and Expectations
In many instances our primary sources are chronologically removed from
the event that they are narrating or describing
It is best to view primary sources as different perspectives of a public
opinion (this means what people believed about the event, it does not make
it unresourceful, it just gives another belief)
Maps
Knowing where different cities, city states, regions etc. will help you to
better understand different aspects of the ancient world. SEE PAGE XV FOR
