Beschreibung

Herodotus IX: Kalliope (1893) est un livre de l'historien grec Herodotus. Il s'agit du neuvi¿¿¿¿¿me livre de son ¿¿¿¿¿uvre intitul¿¿¿¿¿e Histoires, qui raconte l'histoire de la Gr¿¿¿¿¿ce antique et de ses voisins. Dans ce livre, Herodotus se concentre sur les guerres m¿¿¿¿¿diques, qui ont oppos¿¿¿¿¿ les Grecs aux Perses au Ve si¿¿¿¿¿cle avant J.-C. Il d¿¿¿¿¿crit les ¿¿¿¿¿v¿¿¿¿¿nements qui ont men¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿ ces guerres, ainsi que les batailles elles-m¿¿¿¿¿¿mes, notamment la bataille de Marathon et la bataille de Salamine. Herodotus examine ¿¿¿¿¿galement les diff¿¿¿¿¿rences culturelles entre les Grecs et les Perses, ainsi que les raisons pour lesquelles les Perses ont d¿¿¿¿¿cid¿¿¿¿¿ d'envahir la Gr¿¿¿¿¿ce. Le livre est nomm¿¿¿¿¿ d'apr¿¿¿¿¿s la muse de la pö¿¿¿¿sie ¿¿¿¿¿pique, Kalliope, qui ¿¿¿¿¿tait cens¿¿¿¿¿e inspirer les ¿¿¿¿¿crivains et les pö¿¿¿¿tes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Autor

Herodotus was a Greek historian and geographer who was born in the city of Halicarnassus, which was part of the Persian Empire and is now Bodrum, Turkey. He later moved to Thurii, which is now in the Italian region of Calabria (Italy). The Histories, a detailed account of the Greco-Persian Wars, was written by him. Herodotus has been criticized because his work has "legends and made-up stories." Thucydides, a historian who lived at the same time, said that he made up stories for fun. But Herodotus said that he only wrote about what he could see and hear. Herodotus would have told people about his research by reading it out loud in front of a crowd. In the introduction to the Penguin edition of the Histories, John Marincola says that there are parts of Herodotus's early books that could be called "performance pieces." Thucydides and Herodotus became friends over time, and they became close enough that they were both buried in Thucydides' tomb in Athens.
