The Histories of Herodotus. Title card.
"These are the histories 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 Barbarians from losing their due meed of glory; and withal to put on record what were their grounds of feud."
The complete text of the Histories of Herodotus. In the classic translation by George Rawlinson, which was first issued in 1858 and has been repeatedly reprinted and updated. This has been taken from the original translation, with the grammar and spelling modernized by Michael Presky.
This is a very large book, so far the largest in the Galileo Library. If the size gives you problems due to memory restrictions, you may wish to divide it into smaller pieces. Since this book is so large we have also cut back on the amount of extra card buttons and other features since they increase the total size.
