superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical

interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a

constellation of influences—biographical, historical, and

literary—to enrich each reader s understanding of these enduring

works.The world s first great narrative history, Herodotus s

The Histories vividly describes how the Greeks—few in number, poor,

and disunited—managed to repulse a massive invasion by the powerful

Persian army in the 5th century b.c. This amazing upset victory

changed the course of western civilization, as the cities that led

the resistance—Athens and Sparta—became the two major powers on the

Greek mainland. The remarkable period that followed introduced

revolutionary ideas about democracy, education, philosophy, drama,

and—thanks to Herodotus—the writing of history.A wonderful

storyteller, Herodotus filled the Histories with amusing anecdotes

and dialogue, human details about the lives of important political

figures, and a kaleidoscope of viewpoints from people of many

lands. Magnificent in compass and enormously entertaining, the

Histories is not only the leading source of original information

for Greek history during the all-important period between 550 and

479 b.c., but also an artistic masterpiece that created a new genre

of literature.Features maps of several noted battles, index

of proper names, and a general index.Donald Lateiner teaches

Greek, Latin, Ancient History and Comparative Folklore in the

Humanities-Classics department at Ohio Wesleyan University. His

scholarship focuses on Homer and Herodotus. He has published a book

on each. He also researches nonverbal behaviors in ancient

literature.
