Once referred to by Cicero as the father of historiography, the ancient Greek historian and ethnographer Herodotus created something truly special with his nine-volume work of history, written in the 5th century BC. Adolf Bauer has now taken a part of this comprehensive work and critically analyzed it. His findings provide a solid overview and offer a fresh perspective on the extensive project of the Greek. This is a carefully edited reprint of the original edition from 1878.
