2 January 2015Tom Holland's version is a pleasure, but perhaps not the best edition for your needs.
I'm not going to try to convince you to read Herodotus.
30 September 2014Good
A standard penguin book..
1 July 2014The Histories
When history was kick off.
26 February 2014Herodotus in the 21st century
I can't speak to the authenticity of this translation, but it is the most pleasurable I've read .
24 December 2013A window to a everpresent past!
This new translation makes reading Herodotus a pleasure even for people without any interest in History.
21 December 2013Fantastic!
Herodotus travelled widely, even compared to contemporary travellers and he documented what he saw and heard.
1 November 2013fine translation - really convincingly engaged in this wonderful work.
Definitely a winning work and a fine realisation for a contemporary audience.
31 October 2013Wonderful reading
I never imagined that Herodotus could be such an entretainment and easy reading.
