简介

  Herodotus' Histories is the first major surviving prose workfrom antiquity. Its range of interests is immense, covering thewhole of the known world and much beyond, and it culminates in adetailed account of the Persian Wars of the early fifth century BC.Moreover, research has shown that Herodotus is a sophisticated andat times even ironic narrator, and a pioneer and seriouspractitioner of historical research at a time when the Greeks'traditions about their past were still the fluid transmissions andmemories of a largely oral society. This Companion provides aseries of accessible chapters, written by distinguished scholars,illuminating many aspects of Herodotus' work: his skill in languageand his narrative art; his intellectual preconceptions; his workingmethods and techniques; his attitude towards nature and the gods;his attitude towards foreign cultures and peoples; and his view ofhuman life and human history.  ? Introduces Herodotus as an historical practitioner and as asocial commentator ? Offers both the novice reader and the expertthe best in contemporary scholarship and critical insights ?Provides guides to further reading, a glossary of key terms and atimeline
