The Histories
£25.00
' The two sides rained arrows down upon one another from a distance; then, when all their missiles were spent, they clashed & grappled together in close combat, stabbing with spears, fighting hand to hand with daggers.' The Histories of Herodotus of Halicarnassus is considered the first work of non-fiction & the first work of history. Written about 440 BC, The Histories tells (among much else) the story of the war between the Persian Empire & the Greek city-states in the 5th century BC. It is full of bizarre stories, hearsay & pieces of information gathered
- & is the way we know much of what we know about the ancient world. Tom Holland presents Herodotus in a fresh modern translation, showing how curious & quirky he was, & often how funny. It makes this great storyteller compelling reading once more.
