Opis

Book IX of Herodotus' Histories is the conclusive climax to his work, as the victories at Plataea and Mycale complete the improbable Greek victory over Persia. This English commentary treats Herodotus' work as historical narrative and as literature, incorporating the results of recent scholarly research in Greek history and historiography. It contains a Greek text and detailed philological, literary, and historical notes designed to assist the intermediate Greek student.

Recenzje

'This work represents a turning point in Herodotean studies: one can only wish that the other books of Herodotus' Histories will become the subject of editions and commentaries of the same standard.' Journal of Hellenic Studies
