Description
The Histories (Royal Collector's Edition) (Annotated) (Case Laminate Hardcover with Jacket) Considered the founding work of history in Western literature, The Histories of Herodotus is a record of the ancient traditions, politics, geography, and clashes of various cultures in Western Asia, Northern Africa, and Greece. Written in 440 BC, this influential work remains one of the West's most important sources regarding the genre and study of history. The Histories provides a detailed account of the rise of the Persian Empire and the events of the Greco-Persian Wars between the Achaemenid Empire and the Greek city-states in the 5th century BC. Herodotus portrays the conflict as a struggle between the forces of slavery and freedom, setting the stage for a rich and complex narrative. This Royal Classics edition features a Victorian-inspired dust-jacket, making it a beautiful addition to any book collection.
