SynopsisThis volume presents a selection of typically anecdotal 'history' from Herodotus. His Ionic dialect has been changed into the Attic familiar to early Greek learners, and notes and vocabulary are provided to suit the student at that stage. The selection was first published by Macmillan in 1963 and has proved useful at GSCE level.
