In this, the first prose history in European civilisation, Herodotus describes the growth of the Persian Empire with force, authority and style. Perhaps most famously, the book tells the heroic tale of the Greeks' resistance to the vast invading force assembled by Xerxes, King of Persia. Here are not only the great battles - Marathon, Thermopylae and Salamis - but also penetrating human insight and a powerful sense of epic destiny at work.

its amazing to read in this much detail about how much world and history there was beyond the common sense given by normal and oficial education and today's culture. "and when Xerxes saw is colossal army he wept, for in 100 years all those mans would be death"!
Rating: 5The underlying book is a classic and I have nothing to add. Regarding the audiobook, it is very well read with just the right pace and intonation.
