Description: Histories, Paperback by Herodotus; Mensch, Pamela (TRN); Romm, James (EDT), ISBN 1624661130, ISBN-13 9781624661136, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Pamela Mensch has translated this new edition of the Histories of Herodotus. Its language is clear and fluent. Pamela Mensch's goal is to produce a close translation that is highly readable and enjoyable as an English-languag. Overall, the diction is simple and the voice is dignified but not excessively formal ("So much for the subject of sacred animals.") There are some maps and black and white illustrations to clarify the author's points, and many footnotes which are kept short and to the point. They explain specific people, animals, places, events, and so on whose relevance to the topic at hand would have been known to Herodotus' original readers but may not be obvious to contemporary ones. There is a glossary of major characters, places, and terms used in th; a chronology of the Archaic Age; suggestions for further reading; an index of proper nouns. All this material is by editor James Romm, and is designed to be accurate and helpful but not obtrusive, so th looks and reads like a travel book rather than a scholarly analysis of one. Th is equally suitable as a classroom text for students at all levels who are reading Herodotus, and for general readers with an interest in history, the ancient world, or traveler's tales.
