Book IX of Herodotus' Histories provides the conclusion and climax
to his work, as the victories at Plataea and Mycale complete the
improbable Greek victory over Persia. The major themes of the work
are all here echoed, modified, and revisited, and Book IX is thus
essential for exploring its meaning (or range of possible
meanings). This commentary, the first in English devoted solely to
Book IX in over a century, treats Herodotus' work as both an
historical narrative and a work of literature, incorporating the
results of recent scholarly work in the fields of Greek history and
historiography. It contains a Greek text together with detailed
philological, literary, and historical notes designed to assist the
intermediate and advanced Greek student. It will also be of use to
graduate students and scholars.
