Carolyn Higbie uses an inscription of the first century BC from the Greek island of Rhodes to study what the ancient Greeks believed about their past. They believed that figures such as Heracles, Helen, Menelaus, and Alexander the Great had visited their island to give offerings to the goddess Athena and that Athena herself had appeared in three epiphanies to the townspeople. They then used this history to make themselves more important in the present.
