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.

评分David Grene的译本,非常完美。除了译文之外,这本书的排版印刷也很不错,而且字体特别好看,只是希望能有更多的地图。
评分价格跟企鹅差不多,装帧好不少。
评分印象最深:Solon认为一个人死亡之前,不能够说这个人幸福(blessed),如果他/她拥有财产,圆满家庭,只能说明这个人lucky。只有death才能确定人是否blessed,而在此之前,自负地认为自己blessed,可能会有致命后果。

由于年代的问题,本书中许多翻译并不与现行大部分翻译统一。 举例来说,本书中提到西拉库赛,现行翻译一般是叙拉古;神庙戴尔波伊,现行翻译一般是特尔斐;波斯国王克谢尔克谢斯,现行翻译一般是薛西斯等等。 需要读者多加注意。
评分希罗多德的《历史》,较早曾有商务印书馆出版的王以铸译本,由于翻译年代比较早,其中的一些译名与我们当下通行的译名有异,难免使人读来有困惑感,加上缺乏相应历史背景的介绍和注解,故而在早年读过一遍,不得要领后,也提不起重新翻阅的兴趣。后来听说徐松岩在既有成果的基...
评分 评分事物之间必有联系,是人类各种文明穷尽其自身一切可能预设的认识论前提,也是一种本体论承诺。而如何更容易更清晰地发现并厘清事物之间的联系,则决定了不同文明可能达到的高度与广度。也就是说,不同文明能够达到的层次,一方面依赖于其持续时间的长久,另一方面也仰仗于梳理...
评分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“...
