One of the most important works of history in Western literature,
by the freshest and liveliest of all classical Greek prose authors,
Herodotus's Histories is also a key text for the study of ancient
Greece and the Persian Empire. Covering a central and widely
studied period of Greek history, Book V not only describes the
revolt of the east Greeks against their Persian masters, which led
to the great Persian Wars of 490-479 BC, but also provides
fascinating material about the mainland Greek states in the sixth
century BC. This is an up-to-date edition of and commentary on the
Greek text of the book, providing extensive help with the Greek,
basic historical information and clear maps, as well as lucid and
insightful historical and literary interpretation of the text. The
volume is suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate students,
teachers and scholars.
