Book Reviews of The Histories (Penguin Classics)
Book Review: Amazing...
Summary: 5 Stars
Whenever I read a history book I'm always amazed at how little human character has changed. You would expect that when reading about 6th century BC this would not be the case...you'd be wrong. Herodotus uses his own mix of practical and mystical to present a time where lies and truths were mixed in order to gain favour and further your own aims (sound familiar?).The Histories at its core takes you on a fantastic journey covering a fairly short period of time, while constantly diverting into stories of even greater antiquity to set the scene.
A must read for anybody with an interest in ancient history or modern thrillers...
