From the editor of the widely praised The Landmark Thucydides, a new Landmark Edition of The Histories by Herodotus, the greatest classical work of history ever written.
Herodotus was a Greek historian living in Ionia during the fifth century BCE. He traveled extensively through the lands of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea and collected stories, and then recounted his experiences with the varied people and cultures he encountered. Cicero called him “the father of history,” and his only work, The Histories, is considered the first true piece of historical writing in Western literature. With lucid prose that harks back to the time of oral tradition, Herodotus set a standard for narrative nonfiction that continues to this day.
In The Histories, Herodotus chronicles the rise of the Persian Empire and its dramatic war with the Greek city-states. Within that story he includes rich veins of anthropology, ethnography, geology, and geography, pioneering these fields of study, and explores such universal themes as the nature of freedom, the role of religion, the human costs of war, and the dangers of absolute power.
Ten years in the making, The Landmark Herodotus gives us a new, dazzling translation by Andrea L. Purvis that makes this remarkable work of literature more accessible than ever before. Illustrated, annotated, and filled with maps, this edition also includes an introduction by Rosalind Thomas and twenty-one appendices written by scholars at the top of their fields, covering such topics as Athenian government, Egypt, Scythia, Persian arms and tactics, the Spartan state, oracles, religion, tyranny, and women.
Like The Landmark Thucydides before it, The Landmark Herodotus is destined to be the most readable and comprehensively useful edition of The Histories available.
讀瞭一部分
評分這本和Strassler的Thucydides、Xenophon,注解詳盡,排版完美,地圖豐富而標示細緻,總之對於各種水平的讀者訴求、興趣、關注點都體貼入微,是最好的古希臘曆史讀本,沒有之一!最接近的中國曆史著作,大概是楊伯峻先生注的《左傳》瞭(隻可惜該版本缺乏地圖、照片)。
評分強推Landmark係列,海量地圖,超實用。

評分可能是讀的太快瞭,齣瞭一些fantastical stories(比如騎海豚那個。。),沒有被打動多少
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...
評分我时常有一种时光倒错感,这种感觉在阅读历史书籍的时候犹为强烈。比如,我正在阅读远古时期的一场战场,我会感觉它就发生在不久以前,而我童年的一些经历却好象是发生在很久以前的事了。如果我们把一次次阅读也当成一场场梦,如果我们的梦不会醒来,我们是无法分清它和现实之...
評分希罗多德的《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...
評分 評分部历史书从婚前读到婚后--《希波战争史》 --欧洲史上第一部散文体“叙事史”。 可能受儿时《上下五千年》&《世界五千年》叙事方式启蒙太深,喜欢以时间发展顺序/年代记事。而这个又似乎从小学到高中所有中国教学课本一贯的编著方式。而西方史书似乎喜欢以国家为章节。从吕底...
