Items related to A Commentary on Herodotus
Synopsis
Herodotus has been called by Cicero and other ancient critics, "the father of history," and he was indeed the first to make the events of the past the subject of research and verification and to then relate their consequences to the present. The main subject of his Histories is the struggle between Persia and Greece from the time of Croesus to that of Xerxes. This edition of the standard commentary on the Histories deals with the first four of the nine books, covering Persia from Croesus to Cyrus, the digression on Egypt, the conquest of Egypt and Darius's rise to power, and finally his expedition against the Scythians and Libyans.
