1.The Landmark Herodotus: The HistoriesThe Landmark Herodotus: The Histories
from Pantheon
Price: $29.70

Customer Review:
Having previously read an inexpensive edition of Thucydides' account of the Peloponnesian War, I understand the difficulty of making one's way through a book of ancient history without the aid of maps or footnotes. When I decided to read Herodotus' Histories, then, I was thrilled to find this one,... more info

Customer Review:
I highly recommend this book. It made me want to read more of Plato's dialogues. Anyone that even slightly desires read about philosophy should at least start wih this as a primer.

If you think you cannot have at the same time a complicated job and
peace of spirit, if you think your job is too demanding, if you think
