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.
(on the back cover)
It's like writing a review of the Bible, ridiculous and egotistic. But this translation and edition is pretty good, although not good enough. A truly useful and ideal translation should provide more background information and commentary, help reader to build up the concept and understanding of the world which Herodotus wanted to preserve.

评分感谢我是个有耐心的人…
评分I don't like history.
由于年代的问题,本书中许多翻译并不与现行大部分翻译统一。 举例来说,本书中提到西拉库赛,现行翻译一般是叙拉古;神庙戴尔波伊,现行翻译一般是特尔斐;波斯国王克谢尔克谢斯,现行翻译一般是薛西斯等等。 需要读者多加注意。
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...
评分这是一部描述希波战争(公元前6-5世纪)背景和过程的历史书,下面是这本书的梗要笔记: 作者在书的开头就出了这些问题: 为什么要写这本书? 为什么要打仗? 谁先开始打的? 这个”谁”是如何产生的? 跟随希罗多德,我来到希波交界处的吕底亚。在这里,坎道列斯为...
评分直接上链接:包括Docx、插图和最终PDF(带书签),文中链接都更新并测试过有效,有bug请告知。 这本札记的质量有多高?我觉得没读过这本札记,都不好意思说自己读过希罗多德历史。 前阵子想起来这个札记正准备看几眼,发现LiptonTea老师的原网站很多链接都失效了,犹记前年走了...
评分希罗多德这本书曾遭到不够严谨,混入了许多不真实的奇闻怪谈的批评。但在我看来,这却恰恰是其一个优点,即事实丰富,颇具趣味。不像《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》虽然足够严肃,但读起来终归有些枯燥。 读古希腊的历史,不能孤立的来看它。而作为地中海文化圈的一个部分,古希...
