Herodotus is not only known as the 'father of history', as Cicero called him, but also the father of ethnography; as well as charting the historical background to the Persian Wars, his curiosity also prompts frequent digression on the cultures of the peoples he introduces. While much of the information he gives has proved to be astonishingly accurate, he also entertains us with delightful tales of one-eyed men and gold-digging ants. This readable new translation is supplemented with expansive notes that provide readers the background that they need to appreciate the book in depth. * Introduction * Textual Note *Bibliography * Chronology * Appendices * Glossary * Maps * Explanatory Notes * Textual Notes * Index of Proper Names ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

评分我时常有一种时光倒错感，这种感觉在阅读历史书籍的时候犹为强烈。比如，我正在阅读远古时期的一场战场，我会感觉它就发生在不久以前，而我童年的一些经历却好象是发生在很久以前的事了。如果我们把一次次阅读也当成一场场梦，如果我们的梦不会醒来，我们是无法分清它和现实之...
