Description
The Landmark Herodotus The Histories by Herodotus Considered the first true piece of historical writing in Western literature, Herodotus's The Histories sets a standard for narrative nonfiction that continues to this day.

This edition features an introduction by Rosalind Thomas, twenty-one appendices written by leading scholars, and a new translation by Andrea L. Purvis. The book is illustrated, annotated, and filled with maps, making it a rich and user-friendly resource for anyone interested in ancient history.
