About this audiobook

In this, the first prose history in European civilisation, Herodotus describes the growth of the Persian Empire with force, authority and style. Perhaps most famously, the book tells the heroic tale of the GreeksÕ resistance to the vast invading force assembled by Xerxes, King of Persia. Here are not only the great battles Ð Marathon, Thermopylae, Salamis Ð but also penetrating human insight and a powerful sense of destiny at work.
