42. Herodotus On The Pharaohs The stories of the pharaohs by herodotus with annotations. http://www.reshafim.org.il/ad/egypt/herodotus/index.html

Ancient Egypt: Herodotus' description of some of the pharaohs Search Herodotus on the pharaohs Herodotus was born about 490 BCE at Halicarnassos in Carien and died in the late 420's. His travels took him to Asia and northern Africa. At Athens he became a friend of Pericles and Sophocles. In 444 BCE he went to Thurii in Italy where he died. The second volume of his Histories describes Egypt's geography and people. He also relates stories about a number of pharaohs. He has often been accused of not being very truthful or, at the very least, of being wrong, gullible or both. Diodorus Siculus explains his criteria for including material in his own Historical Library We will pass over the baseless news of Herodotus and other writers about Egyptian history, who instead of the truth wanted to present us rather with tales of wonder and entertaining inventions; in contrast we will report after attentive scrutiny what the Egyptian priests themselves wrote in their documents. Translation after Diodor's von Sicilien Historische Bibliothek First volume, chapter 69

Ancient Nile Civilization and Herodotus by James A. Jones, Ph.D. West Chester University Department of History Words: Herodotus, Cyrene Maps: THE GREEKS The Greeks did not conquer territory in Africa, but they founded colonies along its coast as part of the expansion of their overseas trading networks. They left behind several important sources, including the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea , which is a mariner's handbook of the Red Sea coast that lists port cities, markets, and trade goods. The Greek writer Herodotus is the most extensive early source on Africa. He was born around 480BC, and about 440BC, began to try and learn all he could about the Persian invasions of the eastern Mediterranean in 490 and 480BC. His research took him all over the place, and his stories, which survived to modern times, include a good deal of information about Egypt and the region to the west. Later on during his conquest of the Greek and Persian world (which began in 339BC), Alexander of Macedonia conquered Egypt as well. Upon his death, Egypt came under the control of

Home History Iran's Guide Society Histories of Herodotus A history source of Persian Empire of Achaemenian era By: Herodotus (c. 484 - 425 BCE); Translated by: George Rawlinson Books: 1 Book Clio [1.0] These are the researches of Herodotus of Halicarnassus, which he publishes, in the hope of thereby preserving from decay the remembrance of what men have done, and of preventing the great and wonderful actions of the Greeks and the Barbarians from losing their due meed of glory; and withal to put on record what were their grounds of feuds. [1.2] At a later period, certain Greeks, with whose name they are unacquainted, but who would probably be Cretans, made a landing at Tyre, on the Phoenician coast, and bore off the king's daughter, Europe. In this they only retaliated; but afterwards the Greeks, they say, were guilty of a second violence. They manned a ship of war, and sailed to Aea, a city of Colchis, on the river Phasis; from whence, after despatching the rest of the business on which they had come, they carried off Medea, the daughter of the king of the land. The monarch sent a herald into Greece to demand reparation of the wrong, and the restitution of his child; but the Greeks made answer that, having received no reparation of the wrong done them in the seizure of Io the Argive, they should give none in this instance. [1.3] In the next generation afterwards, according to the same authorities, Alexander the son of Priam, bearing these events in mind, resolved to procure himself a wife out of Greece by violence, fully persuaded, that as the Greeks had not given satisfaction for their outrages, so neither would he be forced to make any for his. Accordingly he made prize of Helen; upon which the Greeks decided that, before resorting to other measures, they would send envoys to reclaim the princess and require reparation of the wrong. Their demands were met by a reference to the violence which had been offered to Medea, and they were asked with what face they could now require satisfaction, when they had formerly rejected all demands for either reparation or restitution addressed to them.

Home Ordering Search/Browse Contact ... HUP The Persian Wars, I Books 1-2 Herodotus Translator A. D. Godley Herodotus the great Greek historian was born about 484 BCE , at Halicarnassus in Caria, Asia Minor, when it was subject to the Persians. He travelled widely in most of Asia Minor, Egypt (as far as Assuan), North Africa, Syria, the country north of the Black Sea, and many parts of the Aegean Sea and the mainland of Greece. He lived, it seems, for some time in Athens, and in 443 went with other colonists to the new city Thurii (in South Italy), where he died about 430. He was 'the prose correlative of the bard, a narrator of the deeds of real men, and a describer of foreign places' (Murray). Herodotus's famous history of warfare between the Greeks and the Persians has an epic dignity which enhances his delightful style. It includes the rise of the Persian power and an account of the Persian empire; a description and history of Egypt; and a long digression on the geography and customs of Scythia. Even in the later books on the attacks of the Persians against Greece there are digressions. All is most entertaining and produces a grand unity. After personal inquiry and study of hearsay and other evidence, Herodotus gives us a not uncritical estimate of the best that he could find. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Herodotus is in four volumes.

Lost Herodotus "For more than 2,500 years, historians have been intrigued by Herodotus' tale of large furry ants that enriched the Persian empire by burrowing for gold. Recently returned from a Himalayan expedition, French explorer-anthropologist Michel Peissel and British photographer Sebastian Guinness say they have located the gold-digging ants on Pakistan's Dansar plain. The "ants," it turns out, are actually marmots. Peissel believes Herodotus' confusion came from the ancient Persian word for marmot, which means mountain ant."     —Time At first I think the giant ants of Herodotus are termites, but I am proven wrong. I am proven wrong by a white stone  which leaves my head and flies across the parking lot. The stone flies from my head and glides like an owl to roost in a dark corner of the parking lot. The giant ants of Herodotus dig in the earth and carry gold from their burrows in their fur. I think the giant ants  are termite mounds, but I am proven wrong. I am proven wrong by a young boy who stops and asks me for a cigarette. I am fishing

var TlxPgNm='herodotus'; Back to Homepage Modern Athens Climate of Athens The Sunlight in Athens ... Mycenae Herodotus Herodotus was born at Halicarnassus, a city of Ionian Greece, in (or not much earlier than) 480 B. C., of a distinguished family, to which the epic poet Panyasis also belonged. After taking part in the tumultuous politics of his native town, Herodotus travelled very widely. It seems that he wrote at least parts of his history in early middle age. Tradition tells that after a public reading at Athens he received by decree a reward of ten talents, and that Thucydides as a boy was deeply impressed by his work. In any case he must have spent a long time in that city; Sophocles plainly had a high regard for himhe wrote an ode for Herodotus and quotes him several times. He knew the Acropolis and its buildings well. When Thurii was founded ( 444 B. C.) on the ruins of Sybaris in South Italy, Herodotus became a citizen of that town. He died about 426 B. C. The passages that have been quoted from Herodotus in connexion with the Persian invasions will have shown, to some extent, the character of his work. Much has been written about it, both in praise and in depreciation, but for those who care to read the book itselfof which there are good annotated translationssuch criticism is mostly superfluous. Here I shall content myself with offering a few biographical data and a few general remarks. As historian Herodotus was preceded by Hecataeus of Miletus and Hellanicus of Mytilene. The former has already been mentioned in connexion with the Ionic revolt and as having written a geography ( Travels round the Earth) for the map or globe of Anaximander. His history is mentioned several times by Herodotus, who also speaks of his having been in Egypt. The 'Attic history' of Hellanicus is mentioned by Thucydides.

cycle(-1) literature books RYSZARD KAPUSCINSKI, "TRAVELS WITH HERODOTUS" language versions: polish english french german Just before Ryszard Kapuscinski embarked on his first voyage abroad, he was given a gift - Herodotus' HISTORY . The journalist had this work by the famous Classical historian with him during his travels through India, China, Asia Minor and Africa. In his newest book, the famous reporter recalls many of the fascinating political and historical events he witnessed, juxtaposing them against the events Herodotus described. Kapuscinski considers how ways of traveling, conveying information and describing events affect our understanding of the world. Though it may seem that nearly everything about the work of a reporter has changed since Herodotus' time, it is as true now as it was then that it is hard to understand the course of history - and this in spite of the wealth of information that we receive today from various parts of the globe. For those who nevertheless wish to try, Ryszard Kapuscinski's book is a wonderful guide, above all because it provides no ready answers, teaching readers to ask wise questions instead. TRAVELS WITH HERODOTUS is scheduled to be translated into fifteen languages.

skip to main skip to sidebar ricklibrarian a review of books, websites, movies, or anything worth reviewing with comments about libraries and librarianship Sunday, January 06, 2008 Travels with Herodotus by Ryszard Kapuściński In 1955, when young Polish journalist Ryszard Kapuściński mentioned to his editor that he would enjoy going abroad, he was thinking about Czechoslovakia. He was stunned when she called him to her office and announced that he was going to India, a country that was pursuing better relations with Soviet-era Poland. He knew little about the country. He knew nothing about its languages. As a sort of odd parting gift, she handed him a copy of the new Polish translation of The Histories by Herodotus. The trip to India was only the first of many trips described in Travels with Herodotus . He soon was stationed in China and later spent many years in Africa as the only Polish correspondent for a continent. Wherever he went, he took his book. As he read, he began to wonder more about the ancient Greek, whose situation must have been much like his own in some ways. How did Herodotus get his stories? Did he have troubles with translators? Was he suspected of being a spy? Was he a spy? Why did the Greek write up his travels when there was no publishing as we know it now? Travels with Herodotus has two story lines, one set in fifth century B.C.E. and the other in the 1950s to 1990s. The ancient story gets the greater emphasis, as Kapuściński tells us much about the lands Herodotus visited. There is an especially long section about the wars between Greece and Persia. As a reader, I wish the author had told us more about his own experiences instead. The first few chapters about when he went to India and China led me to expect more of his own story. Perhaps I was reading the wrong book. It appears from the author bio that Kapuściński, who died in 2007, wrote many other books about his experiences.

HOME BLOG ARTICLES PHOTOS ... On Herodotus' Histories The Historian Herodotus' main sources were 'what he has been told' and 'what he has seen'. This was probably the best he could do and it must have been hard to ascertain facts about a war that had acquired mythical dimensions in his own lifetime, and few of whose participants were still alive for comment. He had few, if any, written documents to rely on - he queried priests, leading citizens, interpreters, eyewitnesses, 'men with traditions' - often fragmentary and unreliable. He also did land surveys and inspected battle sites. Unlike Thucydides, Herodotus focused primarily on the non-Greek world. We know little about his private life and in Histories he offers practically no biographical information. On his travels, he covered a large part of the Persian Empire: he went to Egypt, at least as far south as Aswan, and he also visited Libya, Syria, Babylonia, Susa in Elam, Lydia, and Phrygia. He journeyed up the Hellespont to Byzantium, went to Thrace and Macedonia, and traveled northward to beyond the Danube and to Scythia eastward along the northern shores of the Black Sea as far as the Don River and some way inland. These travels would have taken many years (some estimate twelve) and contributed to the almost encyclopedic scope of the
