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.

Download or read book Herodotea written by N. G. Wilson and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2015-08-27 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

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.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Egypt and Scythia There is tradition of Herodotus at the Olympic Festival, reciting his History, moving the young Thucydides to tears of emotion, and having its nine books named after the nine Muses by the as sembled Greeks in their enthusiasm. It is more likely that they were so named by some later grammarian, for the History contains passages that could only have been written when the historian was more than seventy years old, and it broke off unfinished, as if at the finish of the writer's life. It was the free and simple utterance of an Old man who loved truth and the poets, took deep interest in life, on the Divine side as well as the human, and had seen many men and many lands, studying all with special reference to the History that he had planned for his life's work. As he wrote on, the fulness of his store, and thoroughness in telling what he had to tell, caused him to broaden out into explanatory episodes, of which the most famous is the account of Egypt given in this volume. Hen Egypt came, with the acces sion of Cambyse into the history of Persian wars, Herodotus must needs tell what that Egypt was.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important works of history in Western literature, by the freshest and liveliest of all classical Greek prose authors, Herodotus's Histories is also a key text for the study of ancient Greece and the Persian Empire. Covering a central and widely studied period of Greek history, Book V not only describes the revolt of the east Greeks against their Persian masters, which led to the great Persian Wars of 490–479 BC, but also provides fascinating material about the mainland Greek states in the sixth century BC. This is an up-to-date edition of and commentary on the Greek text of the book, providing extensive help with the Greek, basic historical information and clear maps, as well as lucid and insightful historical and literary interpretation of the text. The volume is suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, teachers and scholars.
