(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)
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.

读后感
部历史书从婚前读到婚后--《希波战争史》 --欧洲史上第一部散文体“叙事史”。 可能受儿时《上下五千年》&《世界五千年》叙事方式启蒙太深，喜欢以时间发展顺序/年代记事。而这个又似乎从小学到高中所有中国教学课本一贯的编著方式。而西方史书似乎喜欢以国家为章节。从吕底...
评分希罗多德的《历史》，较早曾有商务印书馆出版的王以铸译本，由于翻译年代比较早，其中的一些译名与我们当下通行的译名有异，难免使人读来有困惑感，加上缺乏相应历史背景的介绍和注解，故而在早年读过一遍，不得要领后，也提不起重新翻阅的兴趣。后来听说徐松岩在既有成果的基...
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，...
评分在《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...
