Herodotus (c. 484-420 B.C.E.) was a Greek who was born in what is now the modern Turkish resort town of Bodrum and who died, so tradition says, in the south of Italy. In between, his tirelessly inquiring mind took him from one corner of the known world to another. And he reported on or visited all of its continents (Europe, Asia, and Africa) to write about the vast array of subjects that captured his interest. These included the "great works" of the ancient land of Egypt; the remarkable kings who built the vast Persian Empire; and the strange customs and unlikely origins of the Scythians, a warlike, mounted people who lived beyond the Danube and whose repulse of Darius and the Persians in 513 B.C.E. made them the first Europeans to throw back an eastern invasion. The book that emerged from these "inquiries" - The Histories - is Herodotus's only known work, yet it still made Herodotus one of the rare, landmark figures in the story of thought. In these lectures, Professor Vandiver introduces you to Herodotus and The Histories, tracing the influences he assimilated and the new methods he used in crafting this monumental work. You learn how that work looked at the past in new and fresh ways, seeing it not as a distant recess shrouded in legend and rumor, but as something that lies close at hand; as something that immediately affects the here and now, and as a subject whose great personalities and patterns of events can be studied in order to make the reasons behind them as clear as possible. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 600 00 Herodotus. 600 00 Herodotus.|tHistory. 600 00 Hecataeus,|cof Miletus. 600 00 Homer.|tIlliad. 600 00 Homer.|tOdyssey. 600 00 Thales,|dapproximately 634 B.C.-approximately 546 B.C. 600 00 Anaximander. 600 00 Heraclitus,|cof Ephesus. 600 00 Croesus,|cKing of Lydia,|dactive 560 B.C.-546 B.C. 600 00 Solon,|dapproximately 630 B.C.-approximately 560 B.C. 600 00 Cyrus,|cthe Great, King of Persia,|d-530 B.C. or 529 B.C. 600 00 Darius|bI,|cKing of Persia,|d548 B.C.-485 B.C. 600 00 Xerxes|bI,|cKing of Persia,|d519 B.C.-465 B.C. or 464 B.C. 600 00 Thucydides.|tHistory of the Peloponnesian War. 650 0 History, Ancient. 650 0 Myth. 650 0 Mythology, Greek. 650 0 Philosophy, Ancient. 650 0 Trojan War. 650 0 Mythology, Scythian. 651 0 Greece|xHistory|yPersian Wars, 500-449 B.C. 651 0 Greece|xHistory|yIonian Revolt, 499-494 B.C. 651 0 Greece|xHistory|yPeloponnesian War, 431-404 B.C. 651 0 Athens (Greece) 651 0 Egypt|xCivilization|yTo 332 B.C. 651 0 Sparta (Extinct city) 700 1 Vandiver, Elizabeth. 710 2 hoopla digital. 800 1 Elizabeth, Vandiver.|tGreat Courses Audio.|sSpoken word ; 830 0 Great courses.|pLiterature & language.|pWestern literature.|sSpoken word. 856 40 |uhttps://www.hoopladigital.com/title/ 13910955?utm_source=MARC|zInstantly available on hoopla. 856 42 |zCover image|uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/ grc_2353_180.jpeg
