In The Muse of History, Oswyn Murray examines how European historians have interpreted ancient Greece from the Enlightenment to the present. Rather than treating the past as a fixed story, he follows the ways each era has understood the Greeks through its own political and intellectual concerns.

The book discusses historians including Burckhardt and Braudel, alongside philosophical influences from Hobbes to Foucault, to explore how ideas about democracy, history and culture have changed.
