Author Description

Excerpt from Herodotus, Books V and Vi: Terpsichore and Erato My notes are chiey intended for historical students for whom also the excursuses have been written. To make the book as useful as possible in this respect I have not hesitated to quote at length accounts given by other authors of the events narrated by Herodotus. I have, of course, made constant use of the editions by Kruger and Stein, which are indispensable helps in the study of Herodotus. I hope, in the course of time, to be able to complete the whole of Herodotus on a similar plan. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
