The landmark Herodotus : the histories
Herodotus, Robert B. Strassler (Editor), Andrea L. Purvis (Translator)
The Histories, Herodotus' only work, is considered the first true piece of historical writing in Western literature. His account of the rise of the Persian Empire and its war with the Greek city-states set a standard for narrative nonfiction. This ancient Greek classical work is here expanded with illustrations, annotations, and maps, along with essays written by history scholars
