In this, the first prose history in European civilization, Herodotus describes the growth of the Persian Empire with force, authority, and style. Perhaps most famously, the book tells the heroic tale of the Greeks resistance to the vast invading force assembled by Xerxes, King of Persia. Here are not only the great battlesMarathon, Thermopylae, and Salamisbut also penetrating human insight and a powerful sense of epic destiny at work.
