Oxford University Press, USA 6/1/2008 Paperback or Softback New in New jacket The Histories (Paperback or Softback)

ISBN10: 0199535663, ISBN13: 9780199535668, [publisher: Oxford University Press, Oxford] Softcover Paperback. Herodotus is not only known as the `father of history', as Cicero called him, but also the father of ethnography; as well as charting the historical background to the Persian Wars, his curiosity also prompts frequent digression on the cultures of the peoples he introduces. While much of the information he gives has proved to be astonishingly accurate, he also entertains us with delightful tales of one-eyed men and gold-digging ants. This readable new translation is supplemented with expansive notes that provide readers the background that they need to appreciate the book in depth. Originally published: Oxford; New York: Oxford University Press, 1998. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
