Description
Herodotus The Histories
The Histories stands as one of the first accounts of the rise of the Persian Empire, as well as the events and causes of the Greco-Persian Wars between the Achaemenid Empire and the Greek city-states in the 5th century BC. Herodotus portrays the conflict as one between the forces of slavery (the Persians) on the one hand, and freedom (the Athenians and the confederacy of Greek city-states which united against the invaders) on the other. The ‘plates’ reproduce etchings and wood-engravings from the 18th and 19th centuries, with new maps, drawings and photographs commissioned by The Folio Society. The book has 631 numbered pages and 48 pages of ‘lithographic’ plates. Translated by Henry Cary.
