From the editor of the widely praised The Landmark Thucydides, a new Landmark Edition of The Histories by Herodotus, the greatest classical work of history ever written.
Herodotus was a Greek historian living in Ionia during the fifth century BCE. He traveled extensively through the lands of the Mediterranean and the Black Sea and collected stories, and then recounted his experiences with the varied people and cultures he encountered. Cicero called him “the father of history,” and his only work, The Histories, is considered the first true piece of historical writing in Western literature. With lucid prose that harks back to the time of oral tradition, Herodotus set a standard for narrative nonfiction that continues to this day.
In The Histories, Herodotus chronicles the rise of the Persian Empire and its dramatic war with the Greek city-states. Within that story he includes rich veins of anthropology, ethnography, geology, and geography, pioneering these fields of study, and explores such universal themes as the nature of freedom, the role of religion, the human costs of war, and the dangers of absolute power.
Ten years in the making, The Landmark Herodotus gives us a new, dazzling translation by Andrea L. Purvis that makes this remarkable work of literature more accessible than ever before. Illustrated, annotated, and filled with maps, this edition also includes an introduction by Rosalind Thomas and twenty-one appendices written by scholars at the top of their fields, covering such topics as Athenian government, Egypt, Scythia, Persian arms and tactics, the Spartan state, oracles, religion, tyranny, and women.
Like The Landmark Thucydides before it, The Landmark Herodotus is destined to be the most readable and comprehensively useful edition of The Histories available.

評分細讀下來能發現一些翻譯、分節、編年上的小問題,但是仍舊是進入希羅多德的世界最為“user-friendly”的一個版本瞭,能隨手翻到地圖是最大亮點。注釋較簡,可配閤一種通行的commentary對讀重點段落。個人強烈推薦。
評分這本和Strassler的Thucydides、Xenophon,注解詳盡,排版完美,地圖豐富而標示細緻,總之對於各種水平的讀者訴求、興趣、關注點都體貼入微,是最好的古希臘曆史讀本,沒有之一!最接近的中國曆史著作,大概是楊伯峻先生注的《左傳》瞭(隻可惜該版本缺乏地圖、照片)。
評分被這個版本和這個齣版社感動得快哭瞭,真的是人生見過的製作最用心、讀著感覺最好的曆史書排版:每頁各種詳細地圖、底下各種詳細注釋、每段邊上的批注、書尾的附錄。手上另外兩本牛津版和企鵝版的被完爆十八條街。讀的時候就默默難過,要是史記啊資治通鑒啊也能齣這樣的版本就好瞭T,T,也不用每次一邊讀、一手google map、一手照著曆朝地圖艱苦地翻翻翻瞭。又為這個版本感動又為國文史籍沒這樣的版本遺憾甚至難過。
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“...
評分希罗多德的《历史》,较早曾有商务印书馆出版的王以铸译本,由于翻译年代比较早,其中的一些译名与我们当下通行的译名有异,难免使人读来有困惑感,加上缺乏相应历史背景的介绍和注解,故而在早年读过一遍,不得要领后,也提不起重新翻阅的兴趣。后来听说徐松岩在既有成果的基...

評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...
評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...
