Synopsis The Persian Wars by : Herodotus
Herodotus, the great Greek historian, wrote this famous history of warfare between the Greeks and the Persians in a delightful style. Herodotus portrays the dispute as one between the forces of slavery on the one hand and freedom on the other. This work covers the rise of the Persian influence and a history of the Persian empire, a description and history of Egypt, and a long digression on the landscape and traditions of Scythia. Because of the comprehensiveness of this work, it was considered the founding work of history in Western literature. A must-have for history enthusiasts.

Synopsis Herodotus: Volume 1 by : Rosaria Vignolo Munson
A collection of scholarship on Herodotus. Vol. 1 discusses his historical method, sources, narrative art, literary antecedents, intellectual background, and political ideology. Vol. 2 focuses on his description of foreign lands and peoples and the theoretical issues it raises, including the extent to which the ethnographic portrayals conform to a conventional Greek construct of barbarian 'otherness' or derive from direct contact with native sources.

Synopsis The Histories Book 2: Euterpe by : Herodotus
Herodotus was an ancient Greek historian who lived in the fifth century BC (c.484 - 425 BC). He has been called the "Father of History", and was the first historian known to collect his materials systematically, test their accuracy to a certain extent and arrange them in a well-constructed and vivid narrative. The Histories-his masterpiece and the only work he is known to have produced-is a record of his "inquiry", being an investigation of the origins of the Greco-Persian Wars and including a wealth of geographical and ethnographical information. The Histories, were divided into nine books, named after the nine Muses: the "Muse of History", Clio, representing the first book, then Euterpe, Thaleia, Melpomene, Terpsichore, Erato, Polymnia, Ourania and Calliope for books 2 to 9, respectively.

Synopsis The History of Herodotus Volume 1 by : Herodotus
Written in 440 BC in the Ionic dialect of classical Greek, 'The History of Herodotus' serves as a record of the ancient traditions, politics, geography, and clashes of various cultures that were known in Western Asia, Northern Africa and Greece at that time. Although not a fully impartial record, it remains one of West's most important sources regarding these affairs. Moreover, it established the genre and study of history in the Western world, despite the existence of historical records and chronicles beforehand.

Synopsis The History of Herodotus, Volume 1 by : Herodotus
If a new translation of Herodotus does not justify itself, it will hardly be justified in a preface; therefore the question whether it was needed may be left here without discussion. The aim of the translator has been above all things faithfulness--faithfulness to the manner of expression and to the structure of sentences, as well as to the meaning of the Author.
