The Landmark Herodotus : The Histories
Paperback Edition: 1
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. 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.
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.
