Ancient Egypt: Herodotus' description of some of the pharaohs Search Herodotus on the pharaohs Herodotus was born about 490 BCE at Halicarnassos in Carien and died in the late 420's. His travels took him to Asia and northern Africa. At Athens he became a friend of Pericles and Sophocles. In 444 BCE he went to Thurii in Italy where he died. The second volume of his Histories describes Egypt's geography and people. He also relates stories about a number of pharaohs. He has often been accused of not being very truthful or, at the very least, of being wrong, gullible or both. Diodorus Siculus explains his criteria for including material in his own Historical Library We will pass over the baseless news of Herodotus and other writers about Egyptian history, who instead of the truth wanted to present us rather with tales of wonder and entertaining inventions; in contrast we will report after attentive scrutiny what the Egyptian priests themselves wrote in their documents.

Introduction Herodotus' Histories Today Herodotus is referred to (somewhat inaccurately) as the Father of History; in antiquity, by contrast, he was often called the Father of Lies. This evaluation is based in part on Herodotus' pro-Athenian biases ( discussed below ), but to a great degree it represents a reaction to the curious "tall tales" in which his work abounds: stories, e.g., of gold-digging ants the size of foxes (3.102-05); of races of people bald from birth (4.23) or with the feet of goats (4.25) or with only one eye (4.26); [

Herodotus of Halicarnassos 484-426 B.C. H erodotus was born about 484 B.C. at Halicarnassos in Caria in the southwest corner of Asia Minor and died about 426 B.C. He traveled extensively, visited Athens, Egypt, Babylon, and Scythia (north of the Black Sea). He observed many of the facts reported in his books although obviously much was obtained by hearsay. Cicero called him "the father of history." He had observed in Babylonia the method used for fructification of palm trees as well as the caprification of fig trees. He confused the two methods. However, Theophrastus more satisfactorily distinguished between the two. The sexual theory of the fertilization of plants was not clearly understood until 1694. (Rudolf Jacob Camerarius) . Herodotus was particularly noted for presenting information with respect to manner, customs, means of livlihood and food of peoples about which he wrote. Additional information about Herodotus may be found on the Internet.

He is famous for the nine books he wrote on the rise of the Persian Empire, the Persian invasions of Greece in 490 and 480 B.C., the heroic fight of the Greeks against the invaders, and the final Greek victory. Herodotus saw the wars between Persia and Greece as part of a series of struggles between Eastern monarchies and the West. Cycles of happiness and misery for states and individuals play an important part in his historical accounts. Herodotus thought that the gods used such cycles to punish human pride.

Home Regions of Turkey Top Tourist Sites History ... History > Herodotus and Homer Herodotus and Homer Herodotus Herodotus, according to Cicero the "father of history", was born in Dorian Halicarnassus (now Bodrum), but had to leave after taking part in an uprising against the tyrant Lygdamis. He travelled widely in Egypt, Africa, Asia Minor and eastern Europe, then lived for a time in Athens, greatly respected and honoured, before moving in 444 BC to settle in the newly founded Athenian colony of Thourioi (Thurii) in southern Italy. His history of the wars between Greece and Persia, divided in later years into nine books named after the Muses, incorporated observations made on his travels as well as a record of the political events. Later study has confirmed in many respects the accuracy of his work, which is a valuable source of information on the Greek settlements in Asia Minor as well as on the lands and peoples of Africa and the Near East. Homer (c.8th c BC) The city of Smyrna ( Izmir ) in Asia Minor claims, probably with some justification, to be the birthplace of Homer, legendary author of the " Iliad " and the "Odyssey" and the West's earliest epic poet. Tradition has it that he was a blind "rhapsode", a wandering reciter of poetry who travelled around the

Herodotus: The Histories: Xerxes at the Hellespont (mid 5th Century BCE) What incidents described below depict Xerxes as superstitious? As tyrannical? They then began to build bridges across the Hellespont from Abydos to that headland between Sestus and Madytus, the Phoenicians building one of ropes made from flax, and the Egyptians building a second one out of papyrus. From Abydos to the opposite shore it is a distance of almost two-thirds of a mile. But no sooner had the strait been bridged than a great storm came on and cut apart and scattered all their work. Xerxes flew into a rage at this, and he commanded that the Hellespont be struck with three hundred strokes of the whip and that a pair of foot-chains be thrown into the sea. It's even been said that he sent off a rank of branders (1) along with the rest to the Hellespont! He also commanded the scourgers to speak outlandish and arrogant words: "You hateful water, our master lays his judgement on you thus, for you have unjustly punished him even though he's done you no wrong! Xerxes the king will pass over you, whether you wish it or not! It is fitting that no man offer you sacrifices, (2)

Ancient Nile Civilization and Herodotus by James A. Jones, Ph.D. West Chester University Department of History Words: Herodotus, Cyrene Maps: THE GREEKS The Greeks did not conquer territory in Africa, but they founded colonies along its coast as part of the expansion of their overseas trading networks. They left behind several important sources, including the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea , which is a mariner's handbook of the Red Sea coast that lists port cities, markets, and trade goods. The Greek writer Herodotus is the most extensive early source on Africa. He was born around 480BC, and about 440BC, began to try and learn all he could about the Persian invasions of the eastern Mediterranean in 490 and 480BC. His research took him all over the place, and his stories, which survived to modern times, include a good deal of information about Egypt and the region to the west. Later on during his conquest of the Greek and Persian world (which began in 339BC), Alexander of Macedonia conquered Egypt as well. Upon his death, Egypt came under the control of

Of course the most famous of all these battles was at Thermopylae, where Leonidas and his 300 Spartans held up the entire Persian army for days by defending a narrow defile and being perfectly willing to die rather than be moved.

cycle(-1) literature books RYSZARD KAPUSCINSKI, "TRAVELS WITH HERODOTUS" language versions: polish english french german Just before Ryszard Kapuscinski embarked on his first voyage abroad, he was given a gift - Herodotus' HISTORY . The journalist had this work by the famous Classical historian with him during his travels through India, China, Asia Minor and Africa. In his newest book, the famous reporter recalls many of the fascinating political and historical events he witnessed, juxtaposing them against the events Herodotus described. Kapuscinski considers how ways of traveling, conveying information and describing events affect our understanding of the world. Though it may seem that nearly everything about the work of a reporter has changed since Herodotus' time, it is as true now as it was then that it is hard to understand the course of history - and this in spite of the wealth of information that we receive today from various parts of the globe. For those who nevertheless wish to try, Ryszard Kapuscinski's book is a wonderful guide, above all because it provides no ready answers, teaching readers to ask wise questions instead. TRAVELS WITH HERODOTUS is scheduled to be translated into fifteen languages.

40. Herodotus ( C.484 - C.432 BC ) The Histories of Greek historian herodotus of Halicarnassus were written between 430 and 424 B.C. The text narrates the wars between Greece and Persia http://www.general-anaesthesia.com/images/herodotus.html

Herodotus ( c.484 BC - c.432 BC ) The Histories of Greek historian Herodotus of Halicarnassus were written between 430 and 424 B.C. The text narrates the wars between Greece and Persia (499-479 BC). Later editors divided the Histories into nine books, named after the Muses. Herodotus describes the tribal customs of the Scythians, nomads inhabiting what is now southern Russia. Herodotus relates how the Scythians inhaled hemp vapours to induce insensibility. Hemp was first cultivated and then burned like incense in closed rooms. The effect was intoxication and then oblivion. Although on this basis it may be claimed that hemp was the first inhalation anaesthetic, the technique was never exploited in antiquity for medical surgery: [1.202] As for the Araxes, it is, according to some accounts, larger, according to others smaller than the Ister (Danube). It has islands in it, many of which are said to be equal in size to Lesbos. The men who inhabit them feed during the summer on roots of all kinds, which they dig out of the ground, while they store up the fruits, which they gather from the trees at the fitting season, to serve them as food in the winter-time. Besides the trees whose fruit they gather for this purpose, they have also a tree which bears the strangest produce. When they are met together in companies they throw some of it upon the fire round which they are sitting, and presently, by the mere smell of the fumes which it gives out in burning, they grow drunk, as the Greeks do with wine. More of the fruit is then thrown on the fire, and, their drunkenness increasing, they often jump up and begin to dance and sing. Such is the account which I have heard of this people.
