| 1. |  | The Landmark Herodotus: The Histories from Pantheon Price: $29.70 Customer Review:  Greek history is a big gap in my education. When I read a review of the "Landmark Herodotus" that talked about all the maps and annotations it contained, I thought this would be a good way to get up to speed. I had some basic questions starting out; how were the Persian wars different from the... |

| 2. |  | The Histories (Penguin Classics) from Penguin Classics Price: $8.00 Customer Review:  Herodotus' Histories have come down to us after two and a half millennia for a reason: they're entertaining and hard to ignore. Whereas Thucydides and Polybius, among many other BCE historians, took it upon themselves to write a specific narrative, Herodotus showed his curiosity for knowledge of all... |

| 3. |  | The Histories (Oxford World's Classics) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $8.76 Customer Review:  This is a very fine translation of one of the most important books from the ancient world. Be forewarned, this is not easy reading for the ordinary or casual reader of history. The university level teacher or classical scholar will savor every page. Herodotus does not give you a simple narrative. He... |

| 4. |  | The History from University Of Chicago Press Price: $10.88 Customer Review: Who am I to write a review of Herodotus' The Histories? I am not a classicist, a historian, or a scholar. I wouldn't know the difference between translations, which one is "most true" to the original, which one provides the most accurate analysis of the texts and its accuracies and inaccuracies. So,... |

| 5. |  | The Histories (Everyman's Library) from Everyman's Library Price: $16.50 Customer Review:  I am surprised to see people raving about this edition of Herodotus while conceding that the translation is a bit "formal" and that it would have helped to have "a map." Indeed! There are better translations - certainly more readable ones. And the three editions I own all have maps.... |

| 9. |  | THE HISTORIES --- UPDATED w/LINKED TOC from Classics-Unbound Price: $1.48 Customer Review: Since there are other reviews of Heroditus' The Histories, I won't add to the list concerning an excellent classic. What I can comment on is the quality of the Kindle version. Having downloaded two copies of the Histories in the same day, I found this version to be far superior in layout for... |

| 10. | [no image] | Selections from Herodotus, from D.C. Heath and Company Customer Review: As a Classics major, I've seen my fair share of Greek texts. I've used many different editions. This edition of Herodotus' "Histories" is every helpful. The grammar guide, the notes and the dictionary are all well put together and make the translating process go much faster. |

| 11. |  | The Persian Wars, II: Books 3-4 (Loeb Classical Library) from Loeb Classical Library Price: $24.00 Customer Review: Reading the Greek texts in the original is quite rewarding, especially since classical Greek is a tough nut to crack. Although I studied Greek for several years in schools and still brush it up as I go along, I often need help to understand some passages, especially syntactic forms that include... |

| 12. |  | Herodotus: The Histories : New Translation, Selections, Backgrounds, Commentaries (Norton Critical Editions) from W. W. Norton & Company Price: $11.25 Customer Review: If either "The English Patient" or "300" peaked your interest in Herodotus and Greek history, you couldn't do much better than this version, with a great deal to say about the first historian, or the first gossip columnist. If you didn't find time to read Herodotus as an undergraduate, it's never... |

| 13. |  | The Persian War: From the Histories (Classic Non Fiction) from Naxos Audiobooks Price: $22.98 Customer Review: This is a good audio book for those of who enjoy reading (or hearing) of ancient history. Herodotus is quoted in bits in every book about the pivotal battles between Greece and Persia, but usually only in snippets here and there. For a layman like myself who wants to hear more of what he himself... |

| 14. |  | The Histories (Oxford World's Classics) from Oxford University Press, USA Customer Review: I would give 5 stars, except for some design and layout issues: the notes are at the rear of the book, very inconvenient, and the margins are a bit narrow for such a thick book. And I miss the traditional OUP blue cloth binding. The translation itself was modern, conversational, I'm glad I picked... |

| 22. |  | Herodotus: The Persian War (Translations from Greek and Roman Authors) from Cambridge University Press Price: $18.00 Customer Review: Not being an expert in translations from ancient Greek to English, I can only comment that I got what I wanted out of the MP3 CD. To learn about the Persian Wars. The narrator is easy to understand, and made a worthwhile presentation. |
