David Grene, one of the best known translators of the Greek classics, splendidly captures the peculiar quality of Herodotus, the father of history.
Here is the historian, investigating and judging what he has seen, heard, and read, and seeking out the true causes and consequences of the great deeds of the past. In his History, the war between the Greeks and Persians, the origins of their enmity, and all the more general features of the civilizations of the world of his day are seen as a unity and expressed as the vision of one man who as a child lived through the last of the great acts in this universal drama. His personality, formalized as witness, reader, and commentator, is integrated into the report which attends on all the events and through which they live for future times.
In Grene's remarkable translation and commentary, we see the historian as a storyteller, combining through his own narration the skeletal "historical" facts and the imaginative reality toward which his story reaches. Herodotus emerges in all his charm and complexity as a writer and the first historian in the Western tradition, perhaps unique in the way he has seen the interrelation of fact and fantasy.

評分事物之間必有聯係,是人類各種文明窮盡其自身一切可能預設的認識論前提,也是一種本體論承諾。而如何更容易更清晰地發現並厘清事物之間的聯係,則決定瞭不同文明可能達到的高度與廣度。也就是說,不同文明能夠達到的層次,一方麵依賴於其持續時間的長久,另一方麵也仰仗於梳理...

希羅多德的《歷史》,記敘的是古希臘兩次重大戰爭中的前一次——希波戰爭,雖然希羅多德曾被《伯羅奔尼撒戰爭史》的作者修昔底德詬以文筆過於粗線條,但在當時希羅多德引用一些無法證實的傳說時已特意附注,給齣類似“純屬個人觀點”的辯證分析,實屬難得,4顆星
