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.

63. Herodotus On Min Herodotus on Min. Herodotus follows this tradition, as does Manetho. Herodotus on the Web Over 200 links to resources about Herodotus and his age http://nefertiti.iwebland.com/herodotus/min.htm

Herodotus on Menes Herodotus on Menes The name of Menes (Min, Meni or the like) appears first in New Kingdom documents, at the top of the Abydos list, which dates to Seti I and in the Turin Papyrus, written during the reign of Ramses II . Herodotus follows this tradition, as does Manetho. The Turin list refers to him as King of [Upper and] Lower Egypt Manetho credits him with having reigned - or perhaps lived - for some 60 years. (The Turin Papyrus gives 2nd Dynasty kings similar spans: Anedjib -74 years, Semerkhet - 72, Hotepsekhemwi - 95 etc. From the 3rd Dynasty onwards their spans become much shorter). In view of the short life expectancy, which was less than 40 years, this seems to be improbable but not impossible. Still, one cannot be sure that Menes existed at all as an individual, either as Aha, as an inscription in the Neithhotep mastaba at Naqada seems to suggest, or as Narmer, who, on the basis of seal impressions in the tombs of Den and Qaa, is considered by many to have been the founder of the first dynasty. The name may have been an epithet, given to a number of kings. Of Min, who first became king of Egypt, the priests said that on the one hand he banked off the site of Memphis from the river: for the whole stream of the river used to flow along by the sandy mountain- range on the side of Libya, but Min formed by embankments that bend of the river which lies to the South about a hundred furlongs above Memphis, and thus he dried up the old stream and conducted the river so that it flowed in the middle between the mountains: and even now this bend of the Nile is by the Persians kept under very careful watch, that it may flow in the channel to which it is confined, and the bank is repaired every year; for if the river should break through and overflow in this direction, Memphis would be in danger of being overwhelmed by flood.

Herodotus Dynasty XXVI 490-c. 431 B.C.E Herodotus was a Greek historian in the fifth century B.C.E. His birth was around B.C.E. References to certain events in his narratives suggest that he did not die until at least 431 B.C.E, which was the beginning of the Peloponesian War. In his later years, Herodotus traveled extensively throughout the Eastern Mediterranean. There, he visited the Black Sea, Babylon, Phoenicia, and Egypt. He is best known for his work entitled Histories . Because of this, Cicero claimed him to be the Father of History. Histories is the story of the rise of Persian power and the friction between Persia and Greece. The battles that are described are the ones fought at Marathon, Thermopylae and Salamis. His story is the historical record of events that happened in his own lifetime. The first Persian War took place just before he was born, while the second happened when he was a child. This gave him the opportunity to question his elders about the events in both wars to get the details he wanted for his story. Histories also contained information having to do with the country of Egypt. The history, geography and ethnography of Egypt are what Herodotus wrote about. The customs of Egyptians fascinated him because of their differences compared to Greek culture. He wrote about how the Egyptians did everything backwards in relation to the Greeks. Observations he made describe how the Egyptians wrote from right to left, instead of left to right. Activities like eating were done outside while doing their "easement" indoors. The reason he gave was that the Egyptians thought "unseemly but necessary things should be done in secret, and things not unseemly in the open."

Herodotus (484 ? BC - 425 BC) Herodotus lived during the fifth century BC, in the city of Halicarnassus (Region of Turkey). He is best known for his work entitled, The History , which is one of the first historical narratives to discuss the life, customs, history and politics of the Middle Eastern, and Aegean region. Though the highlights of his actual life remain vague, it is thought that in 457 BC he was exiled from Halicarnassus for conspiring against Persian rule. After he was exiled, he traveled to Samos, and to other parts of the Mediterranean, including Asia Minor, Egypt, Turkey, Babylonia and eventually to Athens, Greece. In Athens he won the esteem of many of the most notable men of Greek history, including Pericles. His journeys throughout the Aegean, eventually led to the southern pan Hellenic colony of Thurii, Italy. The remainder of his life was spent writing The History , which was full of first hand accounts of the lands, traditions, and cultures he encountered on his journeys. Herodotus has been regarded as the father of modern historiography. Historiography is in essence the history of historical writing and thought.

69. Herodotus' Conception Of Foreign Languages This impression is confirmed in Herodotus accounts of foreign peoples Again Herodotus presentation of foreign languages is not out of keeping with http://www.dur.ac.uk/Classics/histos/1998/harrison.html

Herodotus' Conception of Foreign Languages Thomas Harrison (University College, London) Introduction In one of the most famous passages in his Histories , Herodotus has the Athenians give the reasons why they would never betray Greece (8.144.2): first and foremost, the images and temples of the gods, burnt and requiring vengeance, and then 'the Greek thing', being of the same blood and the same language, having common shrines and sacrifices and the same way of life. With race or blood, and with religious cult, language appears as one of the chief determinants of Greek identity. This impression is confirmed in Herodotus' accounts of foreign peoples: language is - with religious customs, dress, hairstyles, sexual habits - one of the key items on Herodotus' checklist of similarities and differences with foreign peoples. That language was an important element of what, to a Greek, it meant to be a Greek, should not perhaps be thought surprising. As is well known, the Greeks called non-Greeks barbaroi , a term usually taken to refer pejoratively to the babble of foreign speech.

Herodotus and the North Carolina Oral Narrative Tradition Philip Stadter (University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) [Editor's Note: See also the response by John Marincola As scholars who live among books, we find it difficult to imagine the cultural world and the intellectual activity of people to whom books represented a very small part of their way of knowing the world, and a relatively new way to communicate with others or to preserve one's knowledge. In studying the beginnings of literature in the Greek world, our focus has been on the development of the epic tradition and its fixation in written texts, and more recently on the culture that lies behind the creation and performance of lyric poetry and elegy. The oral pre-history of Greek prose has been relatively neglected, although the work of Aly early in the century and of others like Lang, Murray, Thomas, and Evans on oral tradition and Herodotus in the last decade have indicated more work to be done. However we are still far from placing Herodotus and his work securely in their cultural milieu. It is here where I believe some comparative study of the quite different narrative tradition of the North Carolina mountains can be helpful. Recent work on early Greek oral tradition has been especially influenced by the work of Vansina and Finnegan on African oral traditions.

The Book The Histories claim right in the first paragraph to be about the two invasions of Greece by the Persian empire, the first led by Darius and the second by his son Xerxes; these wars included the famous battles of Marathon (490 BCE), Thermopylae (480), and Salamis (479). lot of lands and peoples. The Person The Tourism The War On the other hand, the Greeks are consistent in pointing out that they are fighting for freedom and (a then-new idea) democracy, and against a foreign invader; these are all advantages. Of course the most famous of all these battles was at Thermopylae, where Leonidas and his 300 Spartans held up the entire Persian army for days by defending a narrow defile and being perfectly willing to die rather than be moved. Go tell the Spartans, you who read We took their orders, and are dead. But there are other translations; I like Go stranger, and to Sparta tell: Here, faithful to its law, we fell.

72. On Herodotus' Histories Herodotus’ main sources were ‘what he has been told’ and ‘what he has seen’. Unlike Thucydides, Herodotus focused primarily on the nonGreek world. http://www.shunya.net/Text/Herodotus/TheHistorian.htm

The Historian TOC 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, 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 Histories

HERODOTUS (484?-425? BC) Called the father of history, Herodotus was one of the most widely traveled people of his time. His writings show his interest in both history and geography. Herodotus was born in Halicarnassus, a Greek colony in Asia Minor. He decided early in life to devote himself to literary pursuits. A frequent visitor to Athens, he was a close friend of Sophocles. He also journeyed to the western shores of the Black Sea, to southern Italy and Egypt, and to the Asian cities of Tyre, Babylon, Ecbatana, Nineveh, and Susa. Herodotus's great history seeks to combine a general history of the Greeks and non-Greeks with the history of the wars between the Greeks and Persians. He traces this conflict back to mythical times. Interwoven through the history are descriptions of the people and the countries he visited.

Herodotus b. , 484 BC?, Halicarnassus, Asia Minor [now Bodrum, Tur.] - d. 430, -420 Greek author of the first great narrative history produced in the ancient world, the History of the Greco-Persian Wars. It is believed that Herodotus was born at Halicarnassus, a Greek city in southwest Asia Minor that was then under Persian rule. The precise dates of his birth and death are alike uncertain. He is thought to have resided in Athens and to have met Sophocles and then to have left for Thurii, a new colony in southern Italy sponsored by Athens. The latest event alluded to in his History belongs to 430, but how soon after or where he died is not known. There is good reason to believe that he was in Athens, or at least in central Greece, during the early years of the Peloponnesian War, from 431, and that his work was published and known there before 425. Herodotus was a wide traveler. His longer wandering covered a large part of the Persian Empire: he went to Egypt, at least as far south as Elephantine (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. Structure and scope of the History Herodotus' subject in his History is the wars between Greece and Persia (499-479 BC) and their preliminaries. As it has survived, the History is divided into nine books (the division is not Herodotus' own): Books I-V describe the background to the Greco-Persian Wars; Books VI-IX contain the history of the wars, culminating in an account of the Persian king
