'Hellenica Oxyrhynchia': Text and translation. State of the question. Historical commentary

This thesis is a study of the Hellenica Oxyrhynchia. This historiographical work was written in Greece in the IV century B.C. and it is preserved in three different fragments of papyri. The subject of the work is Greek history in the late V century and the early IV century B.C. It was composed as a continuation of the Thucydides' History and as a parallel version to the Xenophon' Hellenica. From the historical and historiographical point of view, the Hellenica Oxyrhynchia became more reliable and the source of a historical tradition, for that period of time, different from the one of Xenophon.;After a short introduction, this work is divided into three sections. The first one is the edition of the original Greek text with a translation into Spanish. The second section is a status quaestionis, a study of three essential aspects: the account of papyri that belong to the Hellenica Oxyrhynchia, its authorship and the chronology; this chronological chapter focuses the time when the papyri were written, the age when the work was composed and the years when the historical events took place. The third section is a historical commentary: in the case of the Cairo Fragments it is the first commentary; in the case of the London and Florence Fragments it is a review and an updating of the I.A.F. Bruce's commentary, written in 1967. In the historical commentary they are included both political and military aspects, together with topographical, demographical, social and economical questions.;The study is completed with a critical bibliography where the most interesting books and articles on the subject are reviewed, with a general bibliography and some indexes.
