(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)
Herodotus is not only the father of the art and the science of historical writing but also one of the Western tradition's most compelling storytellers. In tales such as that of Gyges—who murders Candaules, the king of Lydia, and unsurps his throne and his marriage bed, thereby bringing on, generations later, war with the Persians—he laid bare the intricate human entanglements at the core of great historical events. In his love for the stranger, more marvelous facts of the world, he infused his magnificent history with a continuous awareness of the mythic and the wonderful. For more than a hundred generations, his supple, lucid prose has drawn readers into his panoramic vision of the war between the Greek city-states and the great empire to the east. And in the generosity of his spirit, in the instinctive empiricism that took him searching over much of the known world for information, in the care he took with sources and historical evidence, in his freedom from intolerance and prejudice, he virtually defined the rational, humane spirit that is the enduring legacy of Greek civilization.

评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...
