From the editor of the widely praised The Landmark Thucydides, a new Landmark Edition of The Histories by Herodotus, the greatest classical work of history ever written.

Herodotus was a Greek historian living in Ionia during the fifth century BCE. He traveled extensively through the lands of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea and collected stories, and then recounted his experiences with the varied people and cultures he encountered. Cicero called him “the father of history,” and his only work, The Histories, is considered the first true piece of historical writing in Western literature. With lucid prose that harks back to the time of oral tradition, Herodotus set a standard for narrative nonfiction that continues to this day.

In The Histories, Herodotus chronicles the rise of the Persian Empire and its dramatic war with the Greek city-states. Within that story he includes rich veins of anthropology, ethnography, geology, and geography, pioneering these fields of study, and explores such universal themes as the nature of freedom, the role of religion, the human costs of war, and the dangers of absolute power.

Ten years in the making, The Landmark Herodotus gives us a new, dazzling translation by Andrea L. Purvis that makes this remarkable work of literature more accessible than ever before. Illustrated, annotated, and filled with maps, this edition also includes an introduction by Rosalind Thomas and twenty-one appendices written by scholars at the top of their fields, covering such topics as Athenian government, Egypt, Scythia, Persian arms and tactics, the Spartan state, oracles, religion, tyranny, and women.

Like The Landmark Thucydides before it, The Landmark Herodotus is destined to be the most readable and comprehensively useful edition of The Histories available.

读后感

根据希罗多德的描述,居鲁士(Cyrus)大帝之后的所有波斯国王都或多或少地违背了他们本族的“诺摩斯”(nomos,意义涵盖风俗、礼仪与律法)。冈比西斯(Cambyses)的癫狂众人皆知,因为他不仅不在乎波斯人的习俗,甚至还蔑视其他民族的习俗。考虑到希罗多德和品达一样,认为“...

由于年代的问题,本书中许多翻译并不与现行大部分翻译统一。 举例来说,本书中提到西拉库赛,现行翻译一般是叙拉古;神庙戴尔波伊,现行翻译一般是特尔斐;波斯国王克谢尔克谢斯,现行翻译一般是薛西斯等等。 需要读者多加注意。

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...

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...

被这个版本和这个出版社感动得快哭了,真的是人生见过的制作最用心、读着感觉最好的历史书排版:每页各种详细地图、底下各种详细注释、每段边上的批注、书尾的附录。手上另外两本牛津版和企鹅版的被完爆十八条街。读的时候就默默难过,要是史记啊资治通鉴啊也能出这样的版本就好了T,T,也不用每次一边读、一手google map、一手照着历朝地图艰苦地翻翻翻了。又为这个版本感动又为国文史籍没这样的版本遗憾甚至难过。

西方史学开山之作,以波斯征服史为主线,希腊殖民史为副线,穿插神话传说、奇闻轶事,勾勒出一幅公元前五世纪东地中海到中西亚各民族的完整历史画卷。希罗多德天南海北恣意游走的叙事风格看似漫不经意,实则暗具匠心,可读性极强(除埃及部分),让我一个非专业读者爱不释手。有对风俗习惯的客观记录,也有抑残暴波斯扬自由雅典的春秋笔法。更要感谢这一版的编者,用详尽的史图和注解为普通读者铺平了通向古代世界的道路。
