Herodotus is not only the father of the art and the science of historical writing but also one of the Western tradition's most compelling storytellers. In tales such as that of Gyges—who murders Candaules, the king of Lydia, and unsurps his throne and his marriage bed, thereby bringing on, generations later, war with the Persians—he laid bare the intricate human entanglements at the core of great historical events. In his love for the stranger, more marvelous facts of the world, he infused his magnificent history with a continuous awareness of the mythic and the wonderful. For more than a hundred generations, his supple, lucid prose has drawn readers into his panoramic vision of the war between the Greek city-states and the great empire to the east. And in the generosity of his spirit, in the instinctive empiricism that took him searching over much of the known world for information, in the care he took with sources and historical evidence, in his freedom from intolerance and prejudice, he virtually defined the rational, humane spirit that is the enduring legacy of Greek civilization.

评分希罗多德这本书曾遭到不够严谨,混入了许多不真实的奇闻怪谈的批评。但在我看来,这却恰恰是其一个优点,即事实丰富,颇具趣味。不像《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》虽然足够严肃,但读起来终归有些枯燥。 读古希腊的历史,不能孤立的来看它。而作为地中海文化圈的一个部分,古希...
