A little about the book
Herodotus opens his inquiry into conflict between Greeks and Persians by tracing stories about rulers, customs and the growth of empires. The digressions give different communities space to explain how the world looks from where they stand.
The account often gives more than one version of an event. Those moments make this a useful read for anyone curious about how an early historian decided what to record.
