Herodotus. Foreword by H. Herington. - ROMM, J.,
KORTE INHOUD
Herodotus, widely known as the father of history, was also described by Aristotle as a mythologos, or 'tale-teller.' In this stylish and insightful book, intended for both general readers and students, James Romm argues that the author of the Histories was both a historian - in the original sense of 'one who inquires' - and a master storyteller. (Editor's information) 'Romm has provided what we have long needed in English: a reliable, sophisticated, well-written, up-to-date treatment of the literary and intellectual aspects of Herodotus? Histories. It can be recommended enthusiastically to students and interested laypeople alike. Scholars too will learn much from this delightful and stimulating book.' (JOHN MARINCOLA, Classical Journal).
