- Abstract:
Herodotus’s monumental history of the Greco-Persian Wars, Historiai Herodotou (c. 424 b.c.e.; The History, 1709), established its author as “the father of history,” in the words of the Roman philosopher and statesman Cicero (106-43 b.c.e.). It is an extraordinary work, combining history in the modern sense with geography, anthropology, and comparative religion.
