| |  | | | In Brief
"Herodotus, while distinguishing his history from epic poetry . . . nonetheless drew upon folklore and myth. . . . In his History, the war between the Greeks and Persians, the origins of their enmity, and . . . 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." (Publisher's note) Index.

Father of history; father of lies--Herodotus has both reputations. The new translation upholds the reputation of this bestiary of ancient customs, which becomes a history of Greek resistance to the invasion of the Persian king Xerxes in 480 BC
