One of the most important works of history in Western literature, by
the freshest and liveliest of all classical Greek prose authors,
Herodotus's Histories is also a key text for the study of ancient
Greece and the Persian Empire. Covering a central and widely studied
period of Greek history, Book V not only describes the revolt of the
east Greeks against their Persian masters, which led to the great
Persian Wars of 490–479 BC, but also provides fascinating material
about the mainland Greek states in the sixth century BC. This is an
up-to-date edition of and commentary on the Greek text of the book,
providing extensive help with the Greek, basic historical information
and clear maps, as well as lucid and insightful historical and
literary interpretation of the text. The volume is suitable for
advanced undergraduates, graduate students, teachers and scholars.
