In the fifth century BC, Greece gave the world the first pages of history, embodied in the exquisite novel Herodotus of Persian wars. This work, in which Herodotus is a pioneer in the art of historical narration, turned into a prominent teacher that combines historical accuracy with fun stories. Jennifer T Roberts, in this brief and profound introduction, reveals to us the reasons that make Herodott's writings a permanent source of excitement and intellectual enrichment. Roberts brilliantly dealt with the multiple dimensions of Herodott's unlimited curiosity, from eating and marital habits in various cultures to his perceptions of the religious gods and rituals surrounding death. This exploratory journey throughout time and space highlights Herodotus as an exceptional historian and a powerful storyteller, and re -evaluates his works as an inexhaustible treasure of knowledge and entertainment.
