STORIES FROM HERODOTUS

by Glanville Downey ‧ RELEASE DATE: March 31, 1965

The selections are suited to the interests of this age group and the retellings of these passages from Herodotus retain the classic simplicity of style. The book contains a taste of all that Herodotus holds -- legends, anecdotes of the Persian Wars, and the off-beat facts that fed the first historian's insatiable curiosity. The white and black drawings of Enrico Arno are especially fine and follow the text in the manner of a Greek frieze. An excellent supplement to Ancient History study units.
