In this, the first prose history in European civilization, Herodotus describes the growth of the Persian Empire with force, authority, and style. Perhaps most famously, the book tells the heroic tale of the Greeks’ resistance to the vast invading force assembled by Xerxes, king of Persia. Here are not only the great battles - Marathon, Thermopylae, and Salamis - but also penetrating human insight and a powerful sense of epic destiny at work.
Histories describes how a small and quarrelsome band of Greek city states united to repel the might of the Persian empire. But while this epic struggle forms the core of his work, Herodotus’ natural curiosity frequently gives rise to colorful digressions - a description of the natural wonders of Egypt; an account of European lake-dwellers; and far-fetched accounts of dog-headed men and gold-digging ants. With its kaleidoscopic blend of fact and legend, the “Histories” offers a compelling Greek view of the world of the fifth century BC.

You’ve earned your place in the Pantheon (if only you knew someone who was Pontifex Maximus…).
We owe so much to those Greeks.

Pontifex makes me think of Sword Art Online Alicization.
Even Japanese pop culture owes the Greeks.
February 2nd, 2019
The Japanese are omnivorous magpies when it comes to popular culture. They adopted and assimilated everything Western after WW2 - sometimes in very incongruous and anomalous ways. It’s a difficult culture to get a handle on.

A remarkable contribution, indeed! David Timson is a far greater and scrupulous narrator in comparison to Bernard Mayes any day of the week.

Thanks!

Yes, David Timson is excellent, but few recordings compare to Bernard Mayes’ Life of Samuel Johnson.
