From the editor of the widely praised The Landmark Thucydides, a new Landmark Edition of The Histories by Herodotus, the greatest classical work of history ever written.
Herodotus was a Greek historian living in Ionia during the fifth century BCE. He traveled extensively through the lands of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea and collected stories, and then recounted his experiences with the varied people and cultures he encountered. Cicero called him “the father of history,” and his only work, The Histories, is considered the first true piece of historical writing in Western literature. With lucid prose that harks back to the time of oral tradition, Herodotus set a standard for narrative nonfiction that continues to this day.
In The Histories, Herodotus chronicles the rise of the Persian Empire and its dramatic war with the Greek city-states. Within that story he includes rich veins of anthropology, ethnography, geology, and geography, pioneering these fields of study, and explores such universal themes as the nature of freedom, the role of religion, the human costs of war, and the dangers of absolute power.
Ten years in the making, The Landmark Herodotus gives us a new, dazzling translation by Andrea L. Purvis that makes this remarkable work of literature more accessible than ever before. Illustrated, annotated, and filled with maps, this edition also includes an introduction by Rosalind Thomas and twenty-one appendices written by scholars at the top of their fields, covering such topics as Athenian government, Egypt, Scythia, Persian arms and tactics, the Spartan state, oracles, religion, tyranny, and women.
Like The Landmark Thucydides before it, The Landmark Herodotus is destined to be the most readable and comprehensively useful edition of The Histories available.

沿希波战争这条线读了一半左右

地图是亮点,中文几版都没有像此书随文附上地图,实在可惜。因《The English Patient》列入书单,又因庄延龄的《鞑靼千年史》里关于斯基泰和塞种的头盖骨一段而开始阅读,其中的种种故事风俗实在有趣。本书末尾附上了一些评论文章,视角都很有意思。

这版真棒。以前商务版没看明白的地方算是都明白了,还有那么多前后呼应的伏笔,如果不是这版的注可能直接就忽略过去了。

这本和Strassler的Thucydides、Xenophon,注解详尽,排版完美,地图丰富而标示细致,总之对于各种水平的读者诉求、兴趣、关注点都体贴入微,是最好的古希腊历史读本,没有之一!最接近的中国历史著作,大概是杨伯峻先生注的《左传》了(只可惜该版本缺乏地图、照片)。
