Description
This accessible edition for students presents Herodotus as one of the most fascinating and colourful authors from the ancient world. Book III of Herodotus' nine-book work is one of the richest in its exploration of themes, such as the practices and customs of different peoples and the nature of political power, issues still much debated today.
This commentary illuminates the geographical and even anthropological scope of Herodotus' history, and enables students to confidently tackle the text in the original Greek. Bringing together a full introduction, text, commentary and translation, Longley makes Herodotus accessible to students of ancient Greek. This guide shows us why Herodotus is still considered the 'Father of History'.

Ideal for reading and translating Book III of Herodotus, each chapter of the Greek, like the commentary and translation, has subdivisions for ease of use. The commentary focuses on understanding the Greek and the translation is hugely useful in the way it follows the syntax and grammar of the Greek.
