Herodotus (c480-c425) is 'The Father of History' and his Histories are the first piece of Western historical writing. They are also the most entertaining. Why did Pheidippides run the 26 miles and 385 yards (or 42.195 kilometres) from Marathon to Athens? And what did he do when he got there? Was the Battle of Salamis fought between sausage-sellers? Which is the oldest language in the world? Why did Leonidas and his 300 Spartans spend the morning before the battle of Thermopylae combing their hair? Why did every Babylonian woman have to sit in the Temple of Aphrodite until a man threw a coin into her lap, and how long was she likely to sit there? And what is the best way to kill a crocodile? This wide-ranging history provides the answers to all these fascinating questions as well as providing many fascinating insights into the Ancient World.

评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...
Herodotus the Storyteller...
评分一方面这个价格真是太划算了,虽然是简装的,但三十几块买这么厚一本原版书也算值了;另一方面是我看完《美国众神》以后就像也买一本里面主角读过且屡次提及的、洛基(对,就是北欧神话里那位狡诈之神)在监狱里送给他的Histories。当然我已有两个中文版本了,英文版纯为找感觉顺便练英语阅读用。
