Description
This translation of Herodotus' histories is that of George Rawlinson and is generally agreed by scholars to be the best into English. Originally published in 1858 with extensive commentary, the notes were condensed by E.H. Blakeney. Rosalind Thomas has now made some revisions to the text, restoring those portions which Rawlinson thought would offend the general readers he envisaged and replacing Roman gods with their Greek counterparts.
