Although the classical scholars that wereoriented towards anthropology never represented dominant stream in the discipline thatresearched antiquity, we may follow the transformation of mentioned relation that reflectsspecific methodological positions and changes, as well as wider social and historical contextthat unavoidably had impact on the development and the status of the academic disciplines.The research attitude towards the Other (as the other culture or as own past) that developedin a specific way in colonialist nineteen century led gradually to disciplinary self-criticismand self-awareness of superior position of the researcher in anthropology that reflected theattitude towards own culture. Regarding the classics, I will point exactly to those researchersthat had anthropological approach (even after this discipline abandoned diachrony),changing the dominant perspective from which the antiquity was perceived in order to free themselves from the position about the “cradle of European civilisation”. They started topose new questions and changed the focus of their research, taking new perspectives forinterpretation of fascinating ancient cultures.
