520    Witness the "works and wonders" of the ancient world 
       through the eyes of its first great historian in this 
       sparkling series of 24 lectures from a much-honored 
       teacher and classical scholar. 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.
