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.

讀希羅多德《曆史》的劄記——目錄(連載中) http://liptontea.bokee.com/4778571.html 網上偶然看到關於此書的劄記,頓覺驚艷。 轉一個彆人的評價: 這位“立頓紅茶”先生是上海交大的教師,湖北武漢青山人,今年34歲,他的《讀 希羅多德〈曆史〉的劄記》水準之高,都...
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“...

評分直接上[鏈接]:包括Docx、插圖和最終PDF(帶書簽),文中鏈接都更新並測試過有效,有bug請告知。 這本劄記的質量有多高?我覺得沒讀過這本劄記,都不好意思說自己讀過希羅多德曆史。 前陣子想起來這個劄記正準備看幾眼,發現LiptonTea老師的[原網站]很多鏈接都失效瞭,猶記前年...
