Ancient critics called Herodotus `the father of history'. He was in
fact the first to research and verify the events of the past
(historie) and then to relate their consequences to the present.
His Histories focus on the struggle between Persia and Greece from
the time of Croesus to that of Xerxes, though frequent digressions
provide a wealth of information on customs and cultures of peoples
foreign to the Greeks. This new paperback edition of How and
Wells's standard commentary (in print continuously since 1912)
deals with the first four books (out of nine), covering Persia from
Croesus to Cyrus, up to Darius' expedition against the Scythians
and Libyans. In addition to the detailed commentary, aimed
primarily at students, it includes short introductory summaries of
certain sections of text, a full introduction describing Herodotus'
life and composition of the Histories, and fifteen appendices
dealing with problems concerning the text and content of these four
books.
