It is analyzed how such texts are linked with their respective political situations. Obviously, periods of intensified contact go hand in hand with more detailed information about foreign customs. In one case concerning a detailed ethnographic treatise, similarities with Greek compositions (e. g. Herodotus) are to be noted, and dependency of a non-preserved Greek text has to be considered as a serious possibility. |
