From the editor of the widely praised "The Landmark Thucydides," a
new Landmark Edition of "The Histories "by Herodotus.
Cicero called Herodotus "the father of history," and his only work,
"The Histories," is considered the first true piece of historical
writing in Western literature. With lucid prose, Herodotus's
account of the rise of the Persian Empire and its dramatic war with
the Greek city states set a standard for narrative nonfiction that
continues to this day. Illustrated, annotated, and filled with
maps--with an introduction by Rosalind Thomas, twenty-one
appendices written by scholars at the top of their fields, and a
new translation by Andrea L. Purvis--The Landmark Herodotus is a
stunning edition of the greatest classical work of history ever
written.
