Sobre IBD

 Histories by Herodotus is a pioneering work of history that recounts the rise of the Persian Empire and its conflicts with the Greek city-states, especially the Greco-Persian Wars. Blending inquiry, travel narrative, and storytelling, Herodotus describes the customs, religions, and geographies of peoples across Egypt, Asia, and Europe. The work explores themes of power, hubris, fate, and cultural difference, while seeking to explain the causes behind great events. Though often mixing fact with legend, Histories laid the foundation for historical writing in the Western tradition.
