Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Herodotus, the father of history, is possibly the most famous historian of all-and perhaps the most maligned, despite his clear warning at the start of his book that he was merely recording, not vouchsafing, those things that he had not seen himself. As a result, his accounts are often dismissed, but as Alfred Church s masterful retelling shows, this is an unjust assumption. Starting with the reign of King Croesus of Lydia (ca. 560 BC), his wars with the Persians, and the rise of Cyrus the Great of Persia, Herodotus s story line moves through the late Egyptian dynasties, and deals with their downfall and submission to the Persians. The stories of Cyrus s successor, Cambyses, and the renowned King Darius are related, along with a fascinating-if brutal-account of the habits of many of the peoples, Indo-European and otherwise, who shaped the destiny of the Ancient Middle East. The author is as careful as Herodotus in his relation of the ascertained facts, and writes in his preface: I should be sorry that readers who are not acquainted with the work of the Father of History should carry away from this book the impression that he is nothing more than a credulous and gossiping teller of stories. That he was often deceived, and that he writes with a simplicity which is quite remote from our ways of thinking, is manifest; but those who know him best are aware that he was nevertheless a shrewd and painstaking observer, whose credit has been distinctly increased by the discoveries of modern times. This edition has been completely reset, and contains all the original text and illustrations.

"The father of history," as Cicero called him, and a writer possessed of remarkable narrative gifts, enormous scope, and considerable charm, Herodotus has always been beloved by readers well versed in the classics. Stories of the East From Herodotus, composed during the Fifth Century BC, is Herodotus's study of the ancient world, and the relationships and conflicts between the Greek and the non-Greek peoples of the Near East, including the expansive Persian Empire, Egypt, and other lands. His histories recounted not only the human and political stories of human activities, but also included writings on geography, biology, and ethnography. By employing multiple points of view and incorporating the diverse stories he collected during his extensive travels, Herodotus provides the fullest portrait of the classical world of the 5th and 6th centuries. And because he writes in a style highly susceptible to digression, his book includes all manner of marvelous observations, Paperback, Label: University Press of the Pacific, University Press of the Pacific, Product group: Book, Published: 2001-02-01, Studio: University Press of the Pacific, Sales rank: 18381207.
