Summary
In this, the first prose history in European civilization, Herodotus tells the heroic tale of the Greeks' resistance to the vast invading force assembled by Xerxes, King of Persia, as recently retold in the feature film 300. Here are not only the great battles - Marathon, Thermopylae, Salamis - but also penetrating human insight and a powerful sense of epic destiny at work.

very interesting, and the Narrators voice is very complimenting to the story. be ready to follow some very random names and try to remember where did they come from and who they are, a bit confusing, but it is common in historical stories. And if you are like me, and can't remember names of people, it's a bit of a wild ride. but I did enjoy this a lot
