Product Description
Herodotus was a Greek historian who was born in Halicarnassus in the Persian Empire and lived in the fifth century BC (c. 484-c. 425 BC), a contemporary of Socrates. He is widely referred to as "The Father of History" he was the first historian known to have broken from Homeric tradition to treat historical subjects as a method of investigation-specifically, by collecting his materials systematically and critically, and then arranging them into a historiographic narrative. The Histories is the only work which he is known to have produced, a record of his "inquiry" (or ?στορ?α historia) on the origins of the Greco-Persian Wars, including a wealth of geographical and ethnographical information. Some of his stories were fanciful and others inaccurate; yet he states that he was reporting only what was told to him and was often correct in his information.( Ko5 64) Details: Condition: New, reproduction handmade in Greece.
