Herodotus is not only known as the 'father of history', as Cicero called him, but also the father of ethnography; as well as charting the historical background to the Persian Wars, his curiosity also prompts frequent digression on the cultures of the peoples he introduces. While much of the information he gives has proved to be astonishingly accurate, he also entertains us with delightful tales of one-eyed men and gold-digging ants. This readable new translation is supplemented with expansive notes that provide readers the background that they need to appreciate the book in depth. * Introduction * Textual Note *Bibliography * Chronology * Appendices * Glossary * Maps * Explanatory Notes * Textual Notes * Index of Proper Names ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe.

评分事物之间必有联系，是人类各种文明穷尽其自身一切可能预设的认识论前提，也是一种本体论承诺。而如何更容易更清晰地发现并厘清事物之间的联系，则决定了不同文明可能达到的高度与广度。也就是说，不同文明能够达到的层次，一方面依赖于其持续时间的长久，另一方面也仰仗于梳理...
