Histories Book VIII. Edited by A.M. Bowie. - Herodotus
Histories Book VIII (Cambridge Greek and Latin Classics)
KORTE INHOUD
'Angus Bowie of The Queen's College, Oxford University, and well known for his work on Aristophanes, has produced for Cambridge University Press's 'Greek and Latin Classics' the second admirable volume of a projected series of nine commentaries on Herodotus' Histories. (...) We heartily recommend this volume as an introduction to Herodotos' Greek and methods of presentation. Bowie's strengths include extensive information on Near Eastern institutions and the Achaemenid Empire as well as Greek misunderstandings of them. He offers less on Greek politics and details of military engagement than on questions of syntax. He is alive to Herodotean ironies, and helpfully notes entrances and exits of characters from the ongoing action (e.g. Xerxes and Themistokles at 120 and 125.2).' (DONALD LATEINER in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2008.07.34).
