Title: The History of Herodotus - Book 1: Clio (Unabridged)
Author: George Rawlinson, Herodotus
Narrator: Bryan Godwin
Format: Unabridged Audiobook
Length: 4 hours 29 minutes
Release date: August 1, 2022
Genres: Classics
Publisher's Summary:
One of the masterpieces of classical literature, the 'Histories' describes how a small and quarrelsome band of Greek city states united to repel the might of the Persian empire. But while this epic struggle forms the core of his work, Herodotus' natural curiosity frequently gives rise to colorful digressions - a description of the natural wonders of Egypt; an account of European lake-dwellers; and far-fetched accounts of dog-headed men and gold-digging ants. With its kaleidoscopic blend of fact and legend, the 'Histories' offers a compelling Greek view of the world of the fifth century BC. BOOK 1: CLIO: These are the researches of Herodotus of Halicarnassus, which he publishes, in the hope of thereby preserving from decay the remembrance of what men have done, and of preventing the great and wonderful actions of the Greeks and the barbarians1 from losing their due meed of glory.
