http://www.hyperhistory.com/online_n2/people_n2/persons2_n2/herodotus.html

Extractions: Greek Historian Herodotus was the first Greek historian and is known as the 'Father of History'. He is famous for the nine books he wrote on the rise of the Persian Empire, the Persian invasion of Greece in 490 BC and 480 BC, and the final Greek victory. Herodotus put together a long and involved historical narrative of the Persian wars without bias against foreign customs. Herodotus was born at Halicarnassus in Asia Minor. Her traveled widely in Greece, the Middle East, and North Africa. The things he learned in his travels formed the materials of his histories. www link :

http://www.kat.gr/kat/history/Greek/Tc/Herodotus.htm

Extractions: d. 430, -420 Greek author of the first great narrative history produced in the ancient world, the History of the Greco-Persian Wars. It is believed that Herodotus was born at Halicarnassus, a Greek city in southwest Asia Minor that was then under Persian rule. The precise dates of his birth and death are alike uncertain. He is thought to have resided in Athens and to have met Sophocles and then to have left for Thurii, a new colony in southern Italy sponsored by Athens. The latest event alluded to in his History belongs to 430, but how soon after or where he died is not known. There is good reason to believe that he was in Athens, or at least in central Greece, during the early years of the Peloponnesian War, from 431, and that his work was published and known there before 425. Herodotus was a wide traveler. His longer wandering covered a large part of the Persian Empire: he went to Egypt, at least as far south as Elephantine (Aswan), and he also visited Libya, Syria, Babylonia, Susa in Elam, Lydia, and Phrygia. He journeyed up the Hellespont to Byzantium, went to Thrace and Macedonia, and traveled northward to beyond the Danube and to Scythia eastward along the northern shores of the Black Sea as far as the Don River and some way inland. These travels would have taken many years. Herodotus' subject in his History is the wars between Greece and Persia (499-479 BC) and their preliminaries. As it has survived, the History is divided into nine books (the division is not Herodotus' own): Books I-V describe the background to the Greco-Persian Wars; Books VI-IX contain the history of the wars, culminating in an account of the Persian king

http://www.historyofmacedonia.org/AncientMacedonia/herodotus.html

Extractions: The modern Greek position relies on Herodotus' support for their quest to make the ancient Macedonians Greek. Herodotus, being one of the foremost biographer in antiquity who lived in Greece at the time when the Macedonian king Alexander I was in power, is said to have visited the Macedonian Kingdom and supposedly, profited from this excursion, wrote several short passages about the Macedonians. What did he say, and to what extent can these passages be taken as evidence for the alleged 'greekness' of the ancient Macedonians, will be briefly presented for your adjudication. Herodotus describes the episode with the Persian envoys, who apparently visited Macedon when Alexander I's father Amyntas was in power, and how Alexander I succeeded in 'taking care of the Persians' by murdering all of them and removing their luggage and carriages. When the Persians attempted to trace the lost envoys, Alexander I cleverly succeeded in manipulating the Persians by giving his own sister Gygaea as a wife to the Persian commander Bubares. Here Herodotus writes: "I happen to know, and I will demonstrate in a subsequent chapter of this history, that these descendants of Perdiccas are

http://www.uta.edu/english/hawk/syllabi/village/herodotus.html

Extractions: In "Observations on Egypt," Herodotus tried to observe the different things in Egypt such as their different gods, their funerals, different animals that symbolized something,and various customs. Many of these things interested him in Egypt because "Herodotus pauses to do what he does in this section -digress. These digressions take him into interesting areas and permit him to discourse on related subjects before returning to his main topics. Digressions were always welcome in classical literature because they provided the human interest that satisfies people's curiosity" (Jacobus 479). Herodotus is very curious about the culture of Egypt and he also discusses on many different gods of Egypt. One of the gods that he mentions in the essay is the god of the Moon and Dionysus. The Egyptians think the pig is an unclean animal and if one of the Egyptian touches the pig, he has to go to the river and wash himself. They never sacrifice the pig to any gods except they only sacrifice them to The Moon and Dionysus on the day of the full moon and honor of Dionysus. He also mentions a lot of gods: Poseidon, the Dioscuri, Hera, Hestia, Themis, and the Graces and Nereids. He learned how the Egyptians have done their funeral and embalming practice. The women "plaster their head and face with mud, and afterwards, having left the corpse in the house" (Herodotus 492). They wash the corpse then wrap up the body. Then they do the embalming practice for the dead person.

HERODOTUS
Herodotus James Romm Herodotus becomes not simply a source of historical data buta masterful and artistic author who created a radically new literary genre.
http://www.yale.edu/yup/books/072295.htm

Extractions: Herodotus, widely known as the father of history, was also described by Aristotle as a mythologos, or tale-teller. In this stylish and insightful book, intended for both general readers and students, James Romm argues that the author of the Histories was both a historianin the original sense of one who inquiresand a master storyteller. Although most ancient historians wrote only about events they themselves had lived through, Herodotus explored an era well before his own timefrom the rise of the Persian Empire to the Persian invasions of Greece in 490 and 480 b.c., the heroic fight of the Greeks against the invaders, and the final Greek victory. Working without the aid of written sources, Herodotus traveled widely and wove into his chronology descriptions of people and countries he visited and anecdotes that shed light on their lives and customs. Romm discusses the historical background of Herodotuss life and work, his moralistic approach to history, his insatiable fascination with people and places, his literary powers, and the question of the historical truth behind the stories he relates. He gives general readers a fresh appreciation of the Histories as a work encompassing fiction and nonfiction, myth and history, and poetry and prose. Herodotus becomes not simply a source of historical data but a masterful and artistic author who created a radically new literary genre.

Extractions: Father of History, Father of Lies By David Pipes It was in the early days of the Peloponnesian War that Herodotus completed his History and published it. It was something new, something unique. It was not a chronicle, nor was it a local history. It was historia History Herodotus tells of the Persian Empire, its rise to the height of imperialism, and its faltering and ultimate collapse. Some say that Athens, too, had reached the height of her imperialism, and the Peloponnesian war would bring to Athens what the war Herodotus wrote about brought to Persia. The author of the History wanted to do more than retell the events of the past, he want to prove a point and make sure the people of the future remembered and learned from the events of the past. He did not want to relate his story. He wanted to relate history. The Life and Travels of Herodotus People sometimes let their own experiences filter the way they interpret the events of the past. For this reason it is important that anyone seeking to study the work of anotherwhether a history, a diary, or even a personal lettershould devote some effort to the study of that person's life. Only then can a student of history effectively judge the work of the historian in its proper light. Was the author trying to make a point? Was he hoping to convince the reader of something? If there is some deeper meaning to the history that someone creates, the key to unlocking that meaning will be found in his past. The man known to history as Herodotus is believed to have been born in Halikarnassos around 484 BC. Most of what is know about him comes from a tenth century Byzantine lexicon, the

http://www.stenudd.com/myth/greek/herodotus.htm

Extractions: on Myth and Cosmology he historian Herodotus (circa 490-425 BC) traveled extensively in the world known to the Greek at his time, spending what must have been many years on this. He finished writing his History , the book on so much more than the Greco-Persian wars and their preludes, no earlier than 430 BC and it seems to have been known before the year 425 BC. Contrary to what is the case with most of the Greek literature of that time, his book is quite intact, with its rich information on the lands and lives of Greece and its neighboring states. In a narrative form he treated foreigners no worse than his countrymen, sometimes actually praising the former at the expense of the latter, and contrary to the tradition he avoided involving any divine interference, but showed the events of history as caused by human action. He lists some few exceptions: Poseidon, the Dioscuri, Hera, Hestia, Themis, the Graces and the Nereids names of which the Egyptians had no knowledge, when Herodotus inquired. Those he believed instead to have been named by the Pelasgians, with just one exception, Poseidon, whose name he claims to have Libyan origin. He makes it very clear in his text that he speak of the names of the gods as being imported, but is hesitant to say anything definite about the gods themselves:

Extractions: Sign my Guest Book Greek Reports of Babylonia, Chaldea, and Assyria Herodotus: from The History of the Persian Wars, c. 430 BCE I.178: Assyria possesses a vast number of great cities, whereof the most renowned and strongest at this time was Babylon, where, after the fall of Nineveh, the seat of government had been removed. The following is a description of the place: The city stands on a broad plain, and is an exact square, a hundred and twenty furlongs in length each way, so that the entire circuit is four hundred and eighty furlongs. While such is its size, in magnificence there is no other city that approaches to it. It is surrounded, in the first place, by a broad and deep moat, full of water, behind which rises a wall fifty royal cubits in width, and two hundred in height. (The royal cubit is longer by three fingers' breadth than the common cubit.) I.180: The city is divided into two portions by the river which runs through the midst of it. This river is the Euphrates, a broad, deep, swift stream, which rises in Armenia, and empties itself into the Erythraean sea. The city wall is brought down on both sides to the edge of the stream: thence, from the corners of the wall, there is carried along each bank of the river a fence of burnt bricks. The houses are mostly three and four stories high; the streets all run in straight lines, not only those parallel to the river, but also the cross streets which lead down to the water-side. At the river end of these cross streets are low gates in the fence that skirts the stream, which are, like the great gates in the outer wall, of brass, and open on the water.
