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.

評分根據希羅多德的描述，居魯士（Cyrus）大帝之後的所有波斯國王都或多或少地違背瞭他們本族的“諾摩斯”（nomos，意義涵蓋風俗、禮儀與律法）。岡比西斯（Cambyses）的癲狂眾人皆知，因為他不僅不在乎波斯人的習俗，甚至還衊視其他民族的習俗。考慮到希羅多德和品達一樣，認為“...

It's like writing a review of the Bible, ridiculous and egotistic. But this translation and edition is pretty good, although not good enough. A truly useful and ideal translation should provide more background information and commentary, help reader to build up the concept and understanding of the world which Herodotus wanted to preserve.
