The Histories of Greek-born, Roman historian Polybius (c.200 118
BCE) are reissued here in two volumes. Comprising fragments of
Books 10 to 39 (17, 19, and 37 are missing), a compendium of
smaller fragments, and an extensive index, Volume 2 covers, inter
alia, the Hannibalian War from 209 BCE, the characters of Scipio
Africanus and Philip of Macedonia, the flawed historical method of
Timaeus, the Siege of New Carthage, the end of the Second Punic
War, and the overthrow of Agathocles. Undertaken by the classicist
Evelyn Shuckburgh (1843 1906), this first complete English
translation (utilising F. Hultsch's 1867 72 Greek text) was
published in 1889. A tutor, and later librarian, at Emmanuel
College, Cambridge, Shuckburgh produced school editions of
Sophocles and Suetonius as well as short histories on the classical
world. This highly readable translation has remained a fascinating
historical account of the second and third centuries BCE.
