It presents a selection of typically anecdotal 'history' from Herodotus, and a useful introduction to the versatility and variety of his writings: historical narrative in the Battle of Salamis; curious anecdote in Arion and the dolphin; anthropological research in Egypt, Arabia and Scythia.  At the same time, it makes Herodotus readily accessible to the beginner.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHerodotus' Ionic dialect has been changed into the Attic Greek which will be familiar to early language learners.
