In this, the first prose history in European civilization, Herodotus describes the growth of the Persian Empire with force, authority, and style. Perhaps most famously, the book tells the heroic tale of the Greeks’ resistance to the vast invading force assembled by Xerxes, king of Persia. Here are not only the great battles - Marathon, Thermopylae, and Salamis - but also penetrating human insight and a powerful sense of epic destiny at work.
Histories describes how a small and quarrelsome band of Greek city states united to repel the might of the Persian empire. But while this epic struggle forms the core of his work, Herodotus’ natural curiosity frequently gives rise to colorful digressions - a description of the natural wonders of Egypt; an account of European lake-dwellers; and far-fetched accounts of dog-headed men and gold-digging ants. With its kaleidoscopic blend of fact and legend, the “Histories” offers a compelling Greek view of the world of the fifth century BC.

David Timson job on this Ancient book is absolutely Fabulous, I read it 3 times. Me personally I found the persian wars chapter to be less exciting while the rest of the book is gorgeous especially the Egyptian,mesopotamian chapters. and cambyses chapter is much fun. if anyone intimidated by it, listen to Elizabeth Vandiver Great Courses lectures on it beforehand to make it more dijastbaul. the book is 23 hours If I remember.
