Herodotus: The Histories: Xerxes at the Hellespont (mid 5th Century BCE) What incidents described below depict Xerxes as superstitious? As tyrannical? They then began to build bridges across the Hellespont from Abydos to that headland between Sestus and Madytus, the Phoenicians building one of ropes made from flax, and the Egyptians building a second one out of papyrus. From Abydos to the opposite shore it is a distance of almost two-thirds of a mile. But no sooner had the strait been bridged than a great storm came on and cut apart and scattered all their work. Xerxes flew into a rage at this, and he commanded that the Hellespont be struck with three hundred strokes of the whip and that a pair of foot-chains be thrown into the sea. It's even been said that he sent off a rank of branders (1) along with the rest to the Hellespont! He also commanded the scourgers to speak outlandish and arrogant words: "You hateful water, our master lays his judgement on you thus, for you have unjustly punished him even though he's done you no wrong! Xerxes the king will pass over you, whether you wish it or not! It is fitting that no man offer you sacrifices, (2)

Herodotus: The History Site Map Herodotus of Halicarnassus: The History (or Histories , or Inquiries) Outline summary by Michael McGoodwin, prepared 1996 Acknowledgement: This work has been summarized using the University of Chicago edition transl. David Grene 1987. Numbers provided in square brackets or parentheses refer to the page numbers in this edition. Overall Impression : This is a thoroghly enjoyable and entertaining book, a "must" read in the Western canon. I also recommend the excellent introduction and the translation provided by David Grene. Overview (partially extracted from the Grene text and prepared for a woman's book discussion group) To read The History (Herodotus' only book) is to seek one's roots as a member of Western democratic civilization. It is in part a gripping and much revered tale of colossal confrontation between freedom-loving Greek-speaking peoples (the Athenians, Spartans, and others) and the seemingly unstoppable forces of the Persians. The Asiatic "Great King" Xerxes, who followed in the footsteps of Cyrus and Darius and assembled a military force numbered in the millions, was intent on enslaving the Greeks as he had so many other countries in the region- Egypt, Asia Minor, Syria, Babylonia, etc. The heroic battles near Athens- at Marathon (490 BCE), Thermopylae, Salamis, and finally Plataea (479 BCE) were classical Greek's crowning military achievements, and Herodotus was determined to record these great deeds for future generations (particularly in view of the ignominious and disastrous Peloponnesian Wars that followed).

Introduction Herodotus' Histories Today Herodotus is referred to (somewhat inaccurately) as the Father of History; in antiquity, by contrast, he was often called the Father of Lies. This evaluation is based in part on Herodotus' pro-Athenian biases ( discussed below ), but to a great degree it represents a reaction to the curious "tall tales" in which his work abounds: stories, e.g., of gold-digging ants the size of foxes (3.102-05); of races of people bald from birth (4.23) or with the feet of goats (4.25) or with only one eye (4.26); [

2000 Herodotus Awards For those who don’t know, The Herodotus award is an award presented by The Historical Mystery Appreciation Society . You may be asking yourselves why I named it The Herodotus which, to be perfectly honest, takes a while to get to roll easily off the tongue. I’ll tell you. Briefly, Herodotus was born in Turkey in the fifth century BC. He is best known as the author of the first great narrative history produced in the ancient world, The History of the Greco-Persian Wars . Herodotus’ need to explain the context in which events took place was fulfilled by a series of digressions from the main narrative. The Encyclopedia Britannica says: One important and, indeed, remarkable feature of Herodotus’ History is his love of and gift for narrating history in the storyteller’s manner.... [H]e inserts not only amusing short stories but also dialogue and even speeches by the leading historical figures into his narratives.... [He] was a great traveler with an eye for detail, a good geographer, a man with indefatigable interest in the customs and past history of his fellowmen, and a man of the widest tolerance.... I can't think of a better description of the best historical mystery writers!

Herodotus of Halicarnassos 484-426 B.C. H erodotus was born about 484 B.C. at Halicarnassos in Caria in the southwest corner of Asia Minor and died about 426 B.C. He traveled extensively, visited Athens, Egypt, Babylon, and Scythia (north of the Black Sea). He observed many of the facts reported in his books although obviously much was obtained by hearsay. Cicero called him "the father of history." He had observed in Babylonia the method used for fructification of palm trees as well as the caprification of fig trees. He confused the two methods. However, Theophrastus more satisfactorily distinguished between the two. The sexual theory of the fertilization of plants was not clearly understood until 1694. (Rudolf Jacob Camerarius) . Herodotus was particularly noted for presenting information with respect to manner, customs, means of livlihood and food of peoples about which he wrote. Additional information about Herodotus may be found on the Internet.

Home Regions of Turkey Top Tourist Sites History ... History > Herodotus and Homer Herodotus and Homer Herodotus Herodotus, according to Cicero the "father of history", was born in Dorian Halicarnassus (now Bodrum), but had to leave after taking part in an uprising against the tyrant Lygdamis. He travelled widely in Egypt, Africa, Asia Minor and eastern Europe, then lived for a time in Athens, greatly respected and honoured, before moving in 444 BC to settle in the newly founded Athenian colony of Thourioi (Thurii) in southern Italy. His history of the wars between Greece and Persia, divided in later years into nine books named after the Muses, incorporated observations made on his travels as well as a record of the political events. Later study has confirmed in many respects the accuracy of his work, which is a valuable source of information on the Greek settlements in Asia Minor as well as on the lands and peoples of Africa and the Near East. Homer (c.8th c BC) The city of Smyrna ( Izmir ) in Asia Minor claims, probably with some justification, to be the birthplace of Homer, legendary author of the " Iliad " and the "Odyssey" and the West's earliest epic poet.

Herodotus - ancient Greek historian of the 400's BC, who wrote about the Persian Wars. Herodotus Herodotus has been called the "father of history." He was the first writer that we know of (probably really the first) who tried to (in his own words) find out what had happened in the past "so that what people did will be remembered later, so that the great and admirable monuments that the Greeks and the barbarians made would be famous, and, among other things, to write down the reasons why they had a war." Herodotus was born around 485 BC in Turkey, in a Greek town called Halicarnassus. Like other writers of his time, Herodotus was from a rich family, and always had plenty of money himself. He was able to go to school , and he learned all the works of Homer as a boy. The most important thing that happened while Herodotus was a child was that the Persians and the Greeks fought a war. The Persians conquered Herodotus' own hometown of Halicarnassus shortly before he was born, but when they attacked Athens and Sparta , in mainland Greece, they were defeated. Everybody was surprised that Athens and Sparta had been able to defeat the
