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.

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。
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...
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“...
当Cyrus向Croesus问起Solon时,Xerxes的命运就已注定。
评分希臘版的《史記》,文字簡練清晰,敘事明瞭卻生動,這段希臘化時代的歷史,也是理解東西方文化相通的有趣方式, 看到希臘人的文化和道德,哲理頗深。
评分简直可以当作姨学正典
评分波澜壮阔,又细致入微。
评分Classical while fun of reading... suitable for teenagers as well; just like 史记 in Chinese context
