Download or read book The Histories written by Herodotus and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 1998-03-05 with total page 856 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
