But this book is anything else than a mere account of dates, battles and names - it brings to live the 5th and 6th centuries BCE, with fascinating tales of human virtues and vices, of honor and cruelty, of visions and nightmares, of achievements and defeats, of lives and deaths. While in his work the factual blends with the mythological and the fantastic, Herodotus never loses sight of the actual historical events of the epoch-making confrontation between the Greeks and the all powerful Persian Empire.The plain text version of this e-book is free, for the PDF version you need the publisher's "Library Card."
