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.

希罗多德的游历大约是很广的,从书中的描述来看,我觉得他肯定去过埃及,利比亚,波斯,西徐亚,还有很多地方。他的见闻大约已经远远超过了那个时候人一生所能经历的全部。而他也许是我读过的最早的一位极具幽默感的作家了。修昔底德的书一般都是板着脸描述战斗的细节,或者长...

评分这是一部描述希波战争(公元前6-5世纪)背景和过程的历史书,下面是这本书的梗要笔记: 作者在书的开头就出了这些问题: 为什么要写这本书? 为什么要打仗? 谁先开始打的? 这个”谁”是如何产生的? 跟随希罗多德,我来到希波交界处的吕底亚。在这里,坎道列斯为...
评分事物之间必有联系,是人类各种文明穷尽其自身一切可能预设的认识论前提,也是一种本体论承诺。而如何更容易更清晰地发现并厘清事物之间的联系,则决定了不同文明可能达到的高度与广度。也就是说,不同文明能够达到的层次,一方面依赖于其持续时间的长久,另一方面也仰仗于梳理...

感谢我是个有耐心的人…
评分印象最深:Solon认为一个人死亡之前,不能够说这个人幸福(blessed),如果他/她拥有财产,圆满家庭,只能说明这个人lucky。只有death才能确定人是否blessed,而在此之前,自负地认为自己blessed,可能会有致命后果。
评分好书!!!真好看呐。。。
