Abstract
In the present paper I try to point out the importance of imitation as a literary tool in the historiography of the early Byzantine period. Dexippus, Priscus, and Procopius used the description of the siege of Plataea as a base text for imitation. The primary aim of these authors was to continue the classical tradition through imitation and to create something new at the same time.
