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.

讀後感
这是一部描述希波战争(公元前6-5世纪)背景和过程的历史书，下面是这本书的梗要笔记： 作者在书的开头就出了这些问题： 为什么要写这本书？ 为什么要打仗？ 谁先开始打的？ 这个”谁”是如何产生的？ 跟随希罗多德，我来到希波交界处的吕底亚。在这里，坎道列斯为...
評分希罗多德的游历大约是很广的，从书中的描述来看，我觉得他肯定去过埃及，利比亚，波斯，西徐亚，还有很多地方。他的见闻大约已经远远超过了那个时候人一生所能经历的全部。而他也许是我读过的最早的一位极具幽默感的作家了。修昔底德的书一般都是板着脸描述战斗的细节，或者长...
評分《历史》，又名《希腊波斯战争史》，是“公元前五世纪希腊历史学家希罗多德所撰述的记述公元前六至五世纪波斯帝国和希腊诸城邦之间战争的一部历史名著”。 “全书传统分为九卷”，“这种分法大概出自后来编订此书的亚历山大里亚学者之手”。 “第一卷在开宗明义之后，...
評分这次世纪文景的徐松岩详注修订本基本可以秒杀之前商务、三联、中信等各个版本。首先封套和封面的设计与用纸都很上档次，终于可以配得上这部牛逼闪闪的西方史书之祖了。 内文用纸、印刷、字号、版式皆中规中矩。很吝啬滴加了点儿黑白图片，就跟给点铜版纸彩印能赔钱似的。 很重...

评分David Grene
评分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.
评分I don't like history.
评分好書！！！真好看呐。。。
