Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Herodotus, Vol. 1 of 4 Books into which the history is divided. In the running comment upon the text which the foot-notes furnish, while it is hoped that no really important illustration of the narrative of Herodotus from classical writers of authority has been omitted, the main endeavour has been to confine such comment within reasonable compass, and to avoid the mistake into which Lar cher and Bahr have fallen, of overlaying the text with the com mentary. If the principle here indicated is anywhere infringed, it will be found that the infringement arises from a press of modern matter not previously brought to bear upon the author, and of a character which seemed to require juxtaposition with his statements.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Herodotus, Vol. 1 of 4: Books I and II Some harm, moreover, has been done to Herodotus' reputation by the tendency of modern languages to alter the meaning of derived words. Herodotus repeats 6901. Now a is simply a tale, with no implication of falsity; it may just as well be true as not. But when we say that Herodotus repeats myths, that is an altogether different matter; myth and mythical carry the implication of falsehood; and Herodotus is branded as a dupe or a liar, who cannot be taken seriously as an authority for anything.

Book excerpt: Herodotus, the great Greek historian, wrote this famous history of warfare between the Greeks and the Persians in a delightful style. Herodotus portrays the dispute as one between the forces of slavery on the one hand and freedom on the other. This work covers the rise of the Persian influence and a history of the Persian empire, a description and history of Egypt, and a long digression on the landscape and traditions of Scythia. Because of the comprehensiveness of this work, it was considered the founding work of history in Western literature. A must-have for history enthusiasts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Herodotus, Vol. 1 of 4: A New English Version, Edited With Copious Notes and Appendices, Illustrating the History and Geography of Herodotus, From the Most Recent Sources of Information Seven years have elapsed since this work was first promised to the public. It was then stated that its object would be at once to present the English reader with a correct yet free translation, and to collect and methodise for the student the chief illustra tions of the author, which modern learning and research had up to that time accumulated. The promise thus made might without much difficulty have been redeemed within the space of two or three years. Parallel, however, with the progress of the work, which was commenced at once, a series of fresh discoveries continued for several years to be made - more especially on points connected with the ethnography of the East, and the history, geography, and religion of Babylonia and Assyria - the results of which it seemed desirable to incorporate, at whatever cost of time and labour. Great portions of the present volume had thus, from time to time, to be rewritten. This circumstance, and the unavoidable absence of Sir Henry Rawlinson from England during three years out of the seven, will, it is hoped, be deemed sufficient apology for the delay that has occurred in the publication. Some apology may also seem to be required for the project of a new translation. When this work was designed, Herodotus already existed in our language in five or six different versions. Besides literal translations intended merely for the use of students, Littlebury in 1737, Beloe in 1791, and Mr. Isaac Taylor in 1829, had given the Father of History an English dress designed to recommend him to the general reader. The defects of the two former of these works - defects arising in part from the low state of Greek scholarship at the time when they were written.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nine Books of the History of Herodotus, Vol. 1 of 2 The tyrant was dethroned, and Halicarnassus might have been free; but the motives which urged the Historian to make this attempt were shared by few among those who had joined in the execution. The men of rank and the wealthy had been eager to overthrow the tyrant, in order they might get the government in their own hands, and establish an aristocracy. The people presently discovered, that the assumed enthusiasm for liberty was but a pretext to subject them to a yoke still more galling. The virtuous republican, too honest to join the aristocratic party, -was looked upon by them with a jealous eye; on the other hand, he was insulted by the people, as the author of a change which they found ruinous to themselves. The natural simplicity and honesty of his own heart had pro bably hitherto blinded the Historian to the fact, that patriotism and love Of freedom are the cloaks under which men are wont to hide the deformities of a selfish nature: convinced now by experience, and disgusted, he bade fare well for ever to his ungrateful country 4.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nine Books of the History of Herodotus, Vol. 2 of 2: Translated From the Text of the Rev. Thomas Gaisford, M.A., Regius Professor of Greek, With Notes Illustrative and Critical Eolians had no-greater claim to the land of Ilium than1 themselves, or any others of the Greeks, who had joined 95 Menelaus in revenging the rape of Helen - During the time the were at war, various kinds of events took place in the di erent engagements among others, Alcaeus the oet, in an action where the Athenians gained the day, saved is person by ight; but the Athenians got possession of his arms, which they hung up in, the temple of Minerva, at Sigeum. This adventure Alcaeus put in an ode, and sent it to Myti lene, in which he describes his misfortune to Melanippus, a friend of his. Periander, the son of Cypselus, reconciled the Mytilenians and Athenians; for both parties had referred to him as an um ire: he set them at peace by the following decision, name y, that each party should keep possession of the country they then had. Thus therefore Sigeum became 96 subject to the Athenians - Hippias, on his arrival from Lacedaemon into Asia, put ever thing in action, misrepre senting the Athenians to Artapliernes, and leaving nothing undone to bring Athens subject to himself and darius. Such accordingly were the actions of Hippias, and the_ Athenians being informed thereof, despatched ambassadors to Sardis, warning the Persians not to hearken to the emi rant Athe nians; but Artaphernes bade them, if they wishe to remain secure, to receive back Hippias: as the. Athenians therefore would not consent to the conditions reported to them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Herodotus, Vol. 1: Translated From the Ancient Greek Scholarship is not requisite to an appreciation of the actions of the Greeks and other people of antiquity as told by the Greek historians; for in all Of us lies the deep curiosity that seeks information, and the love Of the beautiful and heroic that lifts us to a broader plane of thought and endeavour. While much Of value has been discovered and written by modern scholars, history, as recorded by the men who actually lived it, must take first place. These records may not be as accurate in matters of fact as more recent writings, but they certainly are truer his tory; for they tell us more truly what manner Of people they were among whom the authors lived. The earliest forms of this history, of course, are found in the epics of Homer. But of historians in the more modern sense of the word, the writings Of three alone have descended to us through the lapse Of the ages. These are Herodotus, Thucydides and Xenophon; and it is due to their wisdom and energy that humanity has gained its greatest inspiration toward that progress which spells perfection in the end.

Occasional passages offensive to modern delicacy have been retrenched, and others have been modified by the alteration of a few phrases. In the orthography of names, moreover, and in the rendering of the appellations of the Greek deities, the Latinized forms, with which our ear is most familiar, have been adopted in preference to the closer and more literal representation of the words, which has recently obtained the sanction of some very eminent writers. In a work intended for general reading, it was thought that unfamiliar forms were to be eschewed; and that accuracy in such matters, although perhaps more scholar-like, would be dearly purchased at the expense of harshness and repulsiveness.
