"The History of Herodotus" is a landmark work of ancient Greek literature, written by the historian Herodotus in the fifth century BCE. The first volume of the book begins with an overview of the geography and history of the Persian Empire, including the reign of Cyrus the Great and the rise of the Persian Empire. Herodotus also provides detailed accounts of the customs and traditions of the various peoples and cultures he encountered in his travels, including the Egyptians, Scythians, and Babylonians.

The Persian Wars by Herodotus Pdf

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.

Because of the comprehensiveness of this work, it was considered the founding work of history in Western literature. A must-have for history enthusiasts.

Reading Herodotus by Elizabeth Irwin,Emily Greenwood Pdf

Reading Herodotus is a 2007 text which represented a departure in Herodotean scholarship: it was the first multi-authored collection of scholarly essays to focus on a single book of Herodotus' Histories. Each chapter studies a separate logos in Book 5 and pursues two closely related lines of inquiry: first, to propose an individual thesis about the political, historical, and cultural significance of the subjects that Herodotus treats in Book 5, and second, to analyze the connections and continuities between its logos and the overarching structure of Herodotus' narrative. This collection of twelve essays by internationally renowned scholars represents an important contribution to scholarship on Herodotus and will serve as an essential research tool for all those interested in Book 5 of the Histories, the interpretation of Herodotean narrative, and the historiography of the Ionian Revolt.
