Hailed as both the Father of History and the Father of Lies, the fact remains that Herodotus of Halicarnassus (c. 490/80 - 425 BC) is still one of the most read and readable of all ancient historians. In this episode, we take a look at the life, personality, and legacy of this fascinating man. We also discuss the merits (or lack thereof) of the criticisms leveled against him.

The Battle of Salamis was the major turning point in the Second Persian Invasion of Greece. Although the Persian host had suffered setbacks, delays and even minor reversals at Thermopylae and Artemesium, the main body of the force had not suffered any major setbacks. Themistocles' ruse that the Greek fleet at Salamis was all but ready to retreat embolded the Persians to attack despite the natural force multiplier that the Straits of Salamis provided to the Greeks. After this defeat, Xerxes could see the writing on the wall, and sent word back to Persia of his "victory" over the Athenians and that he would be returning to Persia.

The Battle of Marathon was a battle that took place in 490 BC in Attica, Greece, between the independent city-state of Athens and the vast Persian Empire. The Persian force of approximately 30,000 infantry, arches and cavalry landed at the Bay of Marathon to encounter an Athenian hoplite force of approximately 10,000 heavy infantry in a defensive position. Instead of holding back, the Athenians charged the Persians, routed the Persian wings and turned on the centre, putting the whole Persian army to flight and forcing those left alive to escape via their ships. The battle was chronicled by Herodotus in his work The Histories (Enquiries).

Anastasia Bakogianni joins Professor Chris Carey at UCL’s Department of Greek and Latin to talk about his forthcoming commentary on Herodotus’ Book 7. A highpoint in Herodotus’ Histories, the subject of this book is the inexorable march of the Persian forces against Greece, which culminates in the famous battle at Thermopylae. Chris’ commentary will join those of a number of other eminent scholars currently working on Herodotus’ Histories for Cambridge University Press’ Green and Yellow series. To find out more about this exciting project and the other titles already available, follow this link: http://www.cambridge.org/gb/academic/subjects/classical-studies/classical-literature/series/cambridge-greek-and-latin-classics Chris describes Herodotus’ account of the battle as a ‘riveting story of courage and treachery’. He talks about the recent resurgence of interest in Herodotus’ Histories and how new scholarship is uncovering hidden depths in the work of this less well-explored ancient author. For Chris, Herodotus’ Histories is the book he would choose as his Desert Island pick, simply because every time he returns to it, he discovers something new in Herodotus’ account of the Persian Wars. Follow this link to watch our interview, and to learn more about Chris’ personal journey in the footsteps of Xerxes and how it deepened his appreciation of Herodotus’ abilities as the narrator of a famous story. Join us to discover more! References His journey tracing part of Xerxes’ route and its impact on his work on the commentary was also the subject of Chris’ lecture delivered at the AGM of the Hellenic Society in 2014.

The Battle of Thermopylae was the initial engagement between the Persian Empire and the confederation of Greek city-states led by Sparta during the Second Persian Invasion of Greece in 480 BC. The vast Persian army first encounters significant Greek resistance at the narrow pass of Thermopylae (the Hot Gates), where he found an advance force of approximately 4,000 troops from various Greek city-states. Unable to break through the Greek line, Persian King-of-Kings Xerxes was confounded until a local man named Ephialtes betrayed the Greek confederacy by informing him of a hidden trail over the mountains. Xerxes sent a force around to the back of the Greek army holding the narrow pass of Thermopylae, outflanking and eventually overwhelming them. Although this battle was not especially significant other than a delaying action against the Persian invasion, the story of the events is so compelling, combined with the sheer heroism displayed by the hugely-outnumbered Greek troops, that it has become the most famous last stand in history.

https://www.iitutor.com Herodotus was an ancient Greek historian. is considered the Father of History. lived about 2500 years ago. He wrote a book called The Histories which is still available today. He traveled a lot, for example he went to Egypt. He wrote The Histories and as part of this he talked about the Persian wars. His digression in book 6 provides much useful information about the Spartan army, and also about other Greek attitudes towards Sparta. Thucydides was an ancient Greek historian. lived about 2400 years ago. wrote a book called The history of the Peloponnesian War. Thucydides is considered the father of Scientific History, because of his way of investigating the past. Sparta's eunomia (good order) but criticised some aspects of it, for example their culture and city. He wrote mostly of the Peloponnesian War between rivals Athens and Sparta, which Sparta won. Perhaps it is why he admires the methods Sparta used. “Suppose the city of Sparta were deserted, distant ages would be unwilling to believe a great power existed there”. “…on the contrary, a modest style of dressing, more in conformity with modern ideas, was first adopted by the Spartans.” Xenophon a Greek historian soldier mercenary student of Socrates born in Athens lived 2400 years ago. Xenophon wrote Hellinica which is about the Peloponnesian war. It starts at the time Thucydides history finishes. Xenophon was supportive of Sparta. He owned an estate in Sparta. Xenophon admired the Spartan system and its military power. appeared to like some of Sparta's cultural insights. Xenophon offers a rare glimpse into Sparta as an Athenian who left to stay in Laconia. A. Andrews noted “… all the admiration lavished on Spartan military virtue by Xenophon”. “He taught the children from a desire to render them more dexterous in securing provisions, and better qualified for warfare. willingness to obey, prevailed among them and instead of their clothes to make them delicate, Lycurgus required them to become used to a single garment all year round, the idea being that thereby they would be better prepared for cold and heat.” Aristotle lived in the 4th century B.C. was a great philosopher and scientist of Ancient Greece. was a tutor to Alexander the Great. Aristotle seems to complain a lot about the Spartans. He was from Athens, the major rival to Sparta. Sparta was in decline in Aristotle’s time. He is extremely critical of the Spartan system, especially of their emancipated women. “The license of the Lacedaemonian women defeats the intention of the Spartan constitution, and is adverse to the happiness of the state.” “The Spartans brutalise their children… they go about it completely the wrong way.” “The Lacedaemonian constitution is defective in another point; I mean the phoralty… the Ephors are chosen from the whole people…who, being badly off, are open to bribes.”
