it was amazing
bookshelves: world-history, undergrad, classics, ancient-greece

Oh Herodotus, in some ways I feel like he was my college roommate - fore I spent that much time with him... very enjoyable reading from the "Father of History" about the spread of Hellenism and the Persian empire. Read for my senior thesis in undergrad - it was good to read these classics.

Michael I read this after seeing The English Patient and reading the source book. The Count (the English patient) talks about Herodotus a lot.
The Histories and The English Patient are both great books.
