Description

Explore the foundations of Western historical writing with this Routledge Revival edition of Herodotos the Historian. Known as the father of history, Herodotos of Halikarnassos created the first comprehensive history and the first lengthy prose narrative in the Western cultural tradition. This work examines his history of the Persian Wars, written during the second half of the fifth century BC. Because Herodotos worked during a time when written historical evidence in Greece was almost non-existent, his methods differ significantly from modern historians. This text helps students navigate the unique challenges posed by his work, including how he addressed audiences who expected historical dramatizations and descriptive material. It provides a deep look into his originality and the specific problems encountered when studying his historical accounts. Whether you are a student of ancient Greece or a reader interested in the origins of prose, this book offers vital context for understanding one of history's most important figures.
