5.0 out of 5 stars
By far the best modern traslation of this key work on Egypt.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Antiquities of Egypt: A Translation, with Notes of Book I of the Library of History of Diodorus Siculus (v. 1) (Hardcover)
This is a modern translation, expertly and interestingly annotated, and wonderfully illustrated, of the first volume of the Library of History by Diodorus Siculus. Diodorus was a Greek historian who visited Egypt in the time of Caesar and wrote about the wonderful things he saw and learned there...the history, laws, customs, geography, flora, and fauna, as well as myth and religion. This fine translation is meant to introduce the modern reader to a historian who equalled or excelled Herodotus in his researches. Volume II, The Antiquities of Asia, is also available from the same publisher, and Murphy has outdone himself in translating and commenting on this one as well. Both volumes have good indexes, glossaries, and bibliographies. They are excellent
