Historia

Written on a scale of Homeric proportions, Herodotus' The Histories is the first and greatest work of prose that Greek Antiquity has bequeathed to us. In it, the traveler from Halicarnassus explores an entire era and a universe with an inquiring and deeply humanistic spirit that will forever change the way History is conceived and narrated. Although its main purpose is to tell the colossal confrontation between the Greeks and the Persians, which resulted in the unimaginable victory of the Hellenic world against the invader, in the plot of the History amazing news and brief stories are intertwined that reveal its author not only as a historian, but as a pioneer of other disciplines, such as ethnography, and above all as an exceptional narrator. With the skill of the greatest creators, Herodotus tells us about the ins and outs of History, how the memorable characters of this founding History live, die, love or betray.
