The Landmark Herodotus

Author: Herodotus, Edited by Robert B. Strassler

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.

$42.00

Description

With lucid prose, Herodotus’s account of the rise of the Persian Empire and its dramatic war with the Greek city sates 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.
