Summary
The world's first great narrative history, Herodotus's The Histories vividly describes how the Greeks -- few in number, poor, and disunited -- managed to repulse a massive invasion by the powerful Persian army in the 5th century b.c. This amazing upset victory changed the course of western civilization, as the cities that led the resistance, Athens and Sparta, became the two major powers on the Greek mainland. The remarkable period that followed introduced revolutionary ideas about democracy, education, philosophy, drama, and, thanks to Herodotus, the writing of history.
