Review

Samuel Shirley’s elegant translation is enhanced by James Romm’s excellent introduction and epilogue and clear, informative notes. -- Andrew Szegedy-Maszak, Wesleyan University

This crisp, user-friendly volume provides the historical essence of Herodotus’ great Histories. -- Deborah Boedeker, Brown University
