The Battle of Salamis [Herodotus, The History of Herodotus, George Rawlinson, tr. vol. 4 (New York: D. Appleman and Company, 1885), bk. 8] 67. Reinforced by the contingents of all these various states, except Paros, the barbarians reached Athens. As for the Parians, they tarried at Cythnus, waiting to see how the war would go. The rest of the sea forces came safe to Phalerum; where they were visited by Xerxes, who had conceived a desire to go aboard and learn the wishes of the fleet. So he came and sate in a seat of honour; and the sovereigns of the nations, and the captains of the ships, were sent for, to appear before him, and as they arrived took their seats according to the rank assigned them by the king. In the first seat sate the king of Sidon; after him, the king of Tyre; then the rest in their order. When the whole had taken their places, one after another, and were set down in orderly array, Xerxes, to try them, sent Mardonius and questioned each, whether a sea-fight should be risked or no. 68. Mardonius accordingly went round the entire assemblage, beginning with the Sidonian monarch, and asked this question; to which all gave the same answer, advising to engage the Greeks, except only Artemisia, who spake as follows: -

62. Herodotus. Historiae Ever since antiquity the Greek historian Herodotus (ca. 484Ð425 B.C.) has been called by some "the father of history" and by others "the father of lies." Although his History , recognized for its simple, flowing style and entertaining narrative, has been praised by ancient and modern alike, its trustworthiness has been questioned both in ancient and modern times. Several ancient writers accused Herodotus of intentional falsehood. Not until the sixteenth century did Herodotus recover from the verdicts passed on him. The 1502 Aldine edition represents the first printing of Herodotus in the original Greek. During the age of exploration, when foreign diplomats, missionaries, and explorers wrote back to their native countries of faraway lands and strange customs, their accounts were extraordinarily reminiscent of Herodotus both in style and in method, especially reports from travelers and explorers concerning the discovery of America. These accounts vindicated Herodotus, because they showed that one could travel abroad, tell strange stories, and inquire into past events without necessarily being a liar. New exploration often revealed customs even more extraordinary than those described by Herodotus, and the latest reports were eagerly anticipated by the public. Exhibit Home Page New World Books

66. Herodotus - LoveToKnow 1911 herodotus (c. 484425 BC), Greek historian, called the Father of History, was born at Halicarnassus in Asia Minor, then dependent upon the Persians, http://www.1911encyclopedia.org/Herodotus

Herodotus From LoveToKnow 1911 HERODOTUS c. 484-425 B.C.), Greek historian, called the Father of History, was born at Halicarnassus in Asia Minor , then dependent upon the Persians, in or about the year 484 B.C. Herodotus was thus born a Persian subject, and such he continued until he was thirty or five-and- thirty years of age. At the time of his birth Halicarnassus was under the rule of a queen Artemisia . The year of her death is unknown; but she left her crown to her son Pisindelis (born about 498 B.C.), who was succeeded upon the throne by his son Lygdamis about the time that Herodotus grew to manhood. The family of Herodotus belonged to the upper rank of the citizens. His father was named Lyxes, and his mother Rhaeo, or Dryo. He had a brother Theodore , and an uncle or cousin Panyasis , the epic poet, a personage of so much importance that the tyrant Lygdamis, suspecting him of treasonable projects, put him to death. It is probable that Herodotus shared his relative's political opinions, and either was exiled from Halicarnassus or quitted it voluntarily at the time of his execution. Of the education of Herodotus no more can be said than that it was thoroughly Greek, and embraced no doubt the three subjects essential to a Greek liberal education - grammar, gymnastic training and

Search Origins of the Etruscans: Was Herodotus right? By Nicholas Wade Published: April 3, 2007 document.writeln(''); E-Mail Article Listen to Article Printer-Friendly 3-Column Format Translate Share Article Text Size Geneticists have added an edge to a 2,500-year-old debate over the origin of the Etruscans, a people whose brilliant and mysterious civilization dominated northwestern Italy for centuries until the rise of the Roman republic in 510 B.C. Several new findings support a view held by the ancient Greek historian Herodotus - but unpopular among archaeologists - that the Etruscans originally migrated to Italy from the Near East. Though Roman historians played down their debt to the Etruscans, Etruscan culture permeated Roman art, architecture and religion. The Etruscans were master metallurgists and skillful seafarers who for a time dominated much of the Mediterranean. They enjoyed unusually free social relations, much remarked on by ancient historians of other cultures. Etruscan culture was very advanced and very different from other Italian cultures of the time. But most archaeologists have seen a thorough continuity between a local Italian culture known as the Villanovan that emerged around 900 B.C. and the Etruscan culture, which began in 800 B.C.

Today's Globe Local Opinion Magazine ... Living / Arts ALEX BEAM From Herodotus to hip-hop December 27, 2006 Earlier this month, I visited St. John's College, a tiny postage stamp of higher learning clinging to the banks of College Creek in Annapolis, Md. St. John's exists light years away from the mainstream of academic life in America. For starters, the undergraduates have no elective courses. The so-called Great Books curriculum, designed at the University of Chicago in the 1930s, dictates every class, from Herodotus in freshman year to the senior seminar in Hegel and Heidegger . St. John's has other peculiarities. There are no grades and no final exams. No professors. No lectures. Instead "tutors," many of them lacking PhDs, lead round-table seminar discussions. Applicants needn't take the SATs. Unlike, say, a well-regarded small college like Bates or the super-competitive universities like Stanford or Harvard, St. John's is easy to get into. Until recently, the student body was largely self-selecting. Yet St. John's has a much lower graduation rate than most undergraduate programs. Easy to get into, tough to stay. Sort of like Brown University, upside down.
