This volume includes a wealth of helpful footnotes; more than a dozen maps and illustrations; anbsp;chronology of the Archaic Age; a glossary of main characters, places, and terms; suggested furthernbsp;reading; and an index of proper nouns.
"This edition reproduces the fluent pace and readability of Herodotus' world-encompassingnbsp;work. Mensch has produced a close translation of Herodotus' Greek that is also an engrossingnbsp;read in English. As an old-time Herodotean, I found myself drawn into Herodotus' universe ofnbsp;history and story all over again. Combined with Romm's elegant introduction, which conveysnbsp;the lure of Herodotus' work, the lucid maps and tables, and the pertinent, uncluttered notes, thisnbsp;is an edition to read for pleasure and for education. I recommend it to future students ofnbsp;Herodotus and their instructors, and to any reader who wants to discover and rediscovernbsp;Herodotus in a vibrant new translation."nbsp;--Emily Greenwood, Yale University
