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...
評分 評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“...
評分读这本书使我想起来当年看金庸小说的情景，很多地方我几乎是一口气连读下去，大有手不释卷的感觉。 本来抱着一种学习的态度，没想却变成了一件消遣的乐事，实在大出意外。 希罗多德讲故事的天才绝对独步古今。几十万字的大块头著作，说穿了就是一个大故事，故事里面套故事，层...

评分David Grene的譯本，非常完美。除瞭譯文之外，這本書的排版印刷也很不錯，而且字體特彆好看，隻是希望能有更多的地圖。
