具体描述
David Grene, one of the best known translators of the Greek classics, splendidly captures the peculiar quality of Herodotus, the father of history.
Here is the historian, investigating and judging what he has seen, heard, and read, and seeking out the true causes and consequences of the great deeds of the past. In his History, the war between the Greeks and Persians, the origins of their enmity, and all 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. His personality, formalized as witness, reader, and commentator, is integrated into the report which attends on all the events and through which they live for future times.
In Grene's remarkable translation and commentary, we see the historian as a storyteller, combining through his own narration the skeletal "historical" facts and the imaginative reality toward which his story reaches. Herodotus emerges in all his charm and complexity as a writer and the first historian in the Western tradition, perhaps unique in the way he has seen the interrelation of fact and fantasy.

读后感
《历史》，又名《希腊波斯战争史》，是“公元前五世纪希腊历史学家希罗多德所撰述的记述公元前六至五世纪波斯帝国和希腊诸城邦之间战争的一部历史名著”。 “全书传统分为九卷”，“这种分法大概出自后来编订此书的亚历山大里亚学者之手”。 “第一卷在开宗明义之后，...
评分根据希罗多德的描述，居鲁士（Cyrus）大帝之后的所有波斯国王都或多或少地违背了他们本族的“诺摩斯”（nomos，意义涵盖风俗、礼仪与律法）。冈比西斯（Cambyses）的癫狂众人皆知，因为他不仅不在乎波斯人的习俗，甚至还蔑视其他民族的习俗。考虑到希罗多德和品达一样，认为“...
评分 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...

印象最深：Solon认为一个人死亡之前，不能够说这个人幸福（blessed），如果他/她拥有财产，圆满家庭，只能说明这个人lucky。只有death才能确定人是否blessed，而在此之前，自负地认为自己blessed，可能会有致命后果。
评分价格跟企鹅差不多，装帧好不少。
评分很好
