An exciting series that provides students with direct access to the
ancient world by offering new translations of extracts from its key
texts. Herodotus, writing in the second half of the 5th century BC,
is the first historian of western civilisation. His narrative tells
of the expansion of the Persian Empire in the 6th and 5th centuries
BC and the wars between Greece and Persia in 490 and 480 BC. Some
of the most famous battles of history, Marathon, Thermopylae and
Salamis, are dramatically described in his work. His purpose is to
explain why the wars happened and his sophisticated and complex
answer encompasses the relation of gods to men, the nature of
different peoples and the character of individuals.
