David Grene, one of the best known translators of the Greek classics, splendidly captures the peculiar quality of Herodotus, the father of history.
Here is the historian, investigating and judging what he has seen, heard, and read, and seeking out the true causes and consequences of the great deeds of the past. In his History, the war between the Greeks and Persians, the origins of their enmity, and all the more general features of the civilizations of the world of his day are seen as a unity and expressed as the vision of one man who as a child lived through the last of the great acts in this universal drama. His personality, formalized as witness, reader, and commentator, is integrated into the report which attends on all the events and through which they live for future times.
In Grene's remarkable translation and commentary, we see the historian as a storyteller, combining through his own narration the skeletal "historical" facts and the imaginative reality toward which his story reaches. Herodotus emerges in all his charm and complexity as a writer and the first historian in the Western tradition, perhaps unique in the way he has seen the interrelation of fact and fantasy.

读后感
在《历史》一书开头，希罗多德便开门见山地发表了那段传诸后世，并为后人不断释读的名言。 从这段话语中可以看出，希罗多德希望写就的这部“历史”记载的双方分别为希腊人和异邦人（或译作“蛮族”，主要指的是波斯人），所述内容是双方的丰功伟绩以及纷争原因。因此，...
评分《历史》，又名《希腊波斯战争史》，是“公元前五世纪希腊历史学家希罗多德所撰述的记述公元前六至五世纪波斯帝国和希腊诸城邦之间战争的一部历史名著”。 “全书传统分为九卷”，“这种分法大概出自后来编订此书的亚历山大里亚学者之手”。 “第一卷在开宗明义之后，...

很好
评分希羅多德的《歷史》，記敘的是古希臘兩次重大戰爭中的前一次——希波戰爭，雖然希羅多德曾被《伯羅奔尼撒戰爭史》的作者修昔底德詬以文筆過於粗線條，但在當時希羅多德引用一些無法證實的傳說時已特意附注，給出類似“純屬個人觀點”的辯證分析，實屬難得，4顆星
评分David Grene的译本，非常完美。除了译文之外，这本书的排版印刷也很不错，而且字体特别好看，只是希望能有更多的地图。
评分感谢我是个有耐心的人…
