This companion, keyed to the Penguin translation of Aubrey de
Selincourt, is to those parts of Herodotus' history that tell the
story of Marathon, Salamis and the final Persian retreat: books 7-9
with parts of books 5 and 6. The introduction concentrates on the
political and literary background to Herodotus' writing, and
includes a brief historical account of the whole work. The
commentary which forms the bulk of the book explains differences of
interpretation and constantly reveals the bias and intent of
Herodotus' sources. There is frequent emphasis on the importance of
the literary tradition, and references to the scholarly literature
enable readers to take their study further.
