Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Herodotus No satisfactory explanation has yet been given of the order in which the Greek states stand upon tho celebrated monument dedicated at Delphi from the spoils of the battle of Plataea. As is well known, tho monument consisted of a golden tripod, standing upon a bronze column of three intertwining serpents. The inscription begins upon tho thirteenth coil from the base, and the names stand in a single column, three upon each coil, with the exception of the fourth and seventh, upon which there are four, and the third, which has but two.

Download or read book The Landmark Herodotus written by Herodotus and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2009-06-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The most densely annotated, richly illustrated, and user friendly edition” of the greatest classical work of history ever written (Daniel Mendelsohn, The New Yorker)—from the editor of the widely praised The Landmark Thucydides. Cicero called Herodotus "the father of history," and his only work, The Histories, is considered the first true piece of historical writing in Western literature. With lucid prose, Herodotus's account of the rise of the Persian Empire and its dramatic war with the Greek city sates set a standard for narrative nonfiction that continues to this day. Illustrated, annotated, and filled with maps—with an introduction by Rosalind Thomas, twenty-one appendices written by scholars at the top of their fields, and a new translation by Andrea L. Purvis—The Landmark Herodotus is a stunning edition.

Book excerpt: Although it is often thought that Herodotus is a simple author, and that his Histories do not contain many passages requiring textual criticism, closer investigation reveals this view to be inaccurate. Written to accompany and augment the new Oxford Classical Texts edition of the Histories - which has been substantially revised by Nigel Wilson from the original edition by Danish scholar C. Hude in 1906 - this volume attempts to take account of discussion of numerous passages where there is reason to question whether the text as transmitted in ancient or medieval manuscripts is exactly what the author intended. A wide range of conjectures is represented, and work by scholars whose contributions have been neglected or insufficiently appreciated, in particular J. V. Pingel, H. Richards, and J. E. Powell, is taken into account.

Download or read book Herodotus, Books V and VI written by Herodotus Herodotus and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Herodotus, Books V and Vi: Terpsichore and Erato The text of this edition is mainly that of Stein in his edition of 1884, and wherever I have deviated from this I have quoted Stein's reading at the foot. The most important conjectures and readings, or at least those which seemed to be most important for my purpose have been added in the critical apparatus, but I have not attempted to give anything like a conspectus lectionum. That will be found in the editions of Stein and Holder. In regard to the dialect I have felt unable to do anything at all satisfactory, but readers who are interested in this side of the text will find it very carefully treated in Prof. Strachan's excellent edition of Book vi. My notes are chiefly intended for historical students - for whom also the excursuses have been written. To make the book as useful as possible in this respect I have not hesitated to quote at length accounts given by other authors of the events narrated by Herodotus. I have of course, made constant use of the editions by Kruger and Stein, which are indispensable helps in the study of Herodotus. I hope, in the course of time, to be able to complete the whole of Herodotus on a similar plan. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Motivation and Narrative in Herodotus written by Emily Baragwanath and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2008-05-15 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his extraordinary story of the defence of Greece against the Persian invasions of 490-480 BC, Herodotus sought to communicate not only what happened, but also the background of thoughts and perceptions that shaped those events and became critical to their interpretation afterwards. Much as the contemporary sophists strove to discover truth about the invisible, Herodotus was acutely concerned to uncover hidden human motivations, whose depiction was vital to his project of recounting and explaining the past. Emily Baragwanath explores the sophisticated narrative techniques with which Herodotus represented this most elusive variety of historical knowledge. Thus he was able to tell a lucid story of the past while nonetheless exposing the methodological and epistemological challenges it presented. Baragwanath illustrates and analyses a range of these techniques over the course of a wide selection of Herodotus' most intriguing narratives - from those on Athenian democracy and tyranny to Leonidas and Thermopylae - and thus supplies a method for reading the Histories more generally.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of the High Priests of Memphis: The Dethon of Herodotus and the Demotic Tales of Khamuas In spite of all that has been accomplished in demotic, there is much to be done that is almost of a pioneer character, and much that has been conjectured or con tested must be either established or overthrown by positive proofs. This is the main apology for the voluminousness of the philological notes in Part II; though many of them are due chiefly to the bad writing or bad preservation of the second tale. I may here be allowed to express my great obliga tions to the authorities of the department of mss. In the British Museum for permission to publish the demotic text of the second story, and to the Delegates of the Clarendon Press for undertaking the serious expense of printing this book. My thanks are also especially due to the Rev. E. M. Walker, of Queen's College, for encouragement and advice; the Provost of Queen's College, Oxford, for introducing and supporting my application to the Delegates of the Clarendon Press; Mr. Cannan, the Secretary of the Delegates; Mr. Horace Hart, the Controller of the Press; and last, but not least, Mr. F. G. Kenyon of the British Museum, by whose kindness I was amongst the first to see the newly unrolled 'papyrus DCIV, ' and enjoyed every facility for studying it. The particulars furnished by him in regard to the history of the papyrus and to the Greek text upon the recto will be found in a subsequent page.

Download or read book Herodotus: Histories I written by Herodotus and published by Bristol Classical Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Book I" of the Histories provides a particularly good illustration of the discursiveness and diversity of Herodotus' materials and of the ingenuity with which he develops his narrative and welds it into an artistic whole. Here he deals first with the distant mythological past and then in greater detail with the more recent history of Greek relations with the Near East, in an attempt to explain the origin of the quarrels between east and west which formed the background to the Persian Wars. This edition, formerly published by Cambridge University Press in their Pitt Press Series (1909, reissued 1927) contains a serviceable introduction, text and careful annotation on matters of language and content. There is also a very useful explanatory index of historical and geographical names.

Download or read book Travels with Herodotus written by Ryszard Kapuscinski and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2009-11-11 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the renowned journalist comes this intimate account of his years in the field, traveling for the first time beyond the Iron Curtain to India, China, Ethiopia, and other exotic locales. In the 1950s, Ryszard Kapuscinski finished university in Poland and became a foreign correspondent, hoping to go abroad – perhaps to Czechoslovakia. Instead, he was sent to India – the first stop on a decades-long tour of the world that took Kapuscinski from Iran to El Salvador, from Angola to Armenia. Revisiting his memories of traveling the globe with a copy of Herodotus' Histories in tow, Kapuscinski describes his awakening to the intricacies and idiosyncrasies of new environments, and how the words of the Greek historiographer helped shape his own view of an increasingly globalized world. Written with supreme eloquence and a constant eye to the global undercurrents that have shaped the last half-century, Travels with Herodotus is an exceptional chronicle of one man's journey across continents.
