具体描述

Herodotus the great Greek historian was born about 484 BCE, at Halicarnassus in Caria, Asia Minor, when it was subject to the Persians. He travelled widely in most of Asia Minor, Egypt (as far as Assuan), North Africa, Syria, the country north of the Black Sea, and many parts of the Aegean Sea and the mainland of Greece. He lived, it seems, for some time in Athens, and in 443 went with other colonists to the new city Thurii (in South Italy), where he died about 430. He was 'the prose correlative of the bard, a narrator of the deeds of real men, and a describer of foreign places' (Murray).

Herodotus's famous history of warfare between the Greeks and the Persians has an epic dignity which enhances his delightful style. It includes the rise of the Persian power and an account of the Persian empire; a description and history of Egypt; and a long digression on the geography and customs of Scythia. Even in the later books on the attacks of the Persians against Greece there are digressions. All is most entertaining and produces a grand unity. After personal inquiry and study of hearsay and other evidence, Herodotus gives us a not uncritical estimate of the best that he could find.

The Loeb Classical Library edition of Herodotus is in four volumes.

读后感

读希罗多德《历史》的札记——目录（连载中） http://liptontea.bokee.com/4778571.html 网上偶然看到关于此书的札记，顿觉惊艳。 转一个别人的评价： 　　这位“立顿红茶”先生是上海交大的教师，湖北武汉青山人，今年３４岁，他的《读 希罗多德〈历史〉的札记》水准之高，都...  

根据希罗多德的描述，居鲁士（Cyrus）大帝之后的所有波斯国王都或多或少地违背了他们本族的“诺摩斯”（nomos，意义涵盖风俗、礼仪与律法）。冈比西斯（Cambyses）的癫狂众人皆知，因为他不仅不在乎波斯人的习俗，甚至还蔑视其他民族的习俗。考虑到希罗多德和品达一样，认为“...  

在《历史》一书开头，希罗多德便开门见山地发表了那段传诸后世，并为后人不断释读的名言。 从这段话语中可以看出，希罗多德希望写就的这部“历史”记载的双方分别为希腊人和异邦人（或译作“蛮族”，主要指的是波斯人），所述内容是双方的丰功伟绩以及纷争原因。因此，...
