Herodotus (/hᵻˈrɒdətəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἡρόδοτος Hēródotos, pronounced [hɛː.ró.do.tos]) was a Greek historian who was born in Halicarnassus, Caria (modern-day Bodrum, Turkey) and lived in the fifth century BC (c. 484–425 BC). A contemporary of Socrates, he is widely referred to as "The Father of History" (first conferred by Cicero); he was the first historian known to have broken from Homeric tradition to treat historical subjects as a method of investigation: specifically by collecting his materials systematically and critically, and then to arrange them into a historiographic narrative.The Histories is the only work he is known to have produced — a record of his "inquiry" (or ἱστορία historía) on the origins of the Greco-Persian Wars including a wealth of geographical and ethnographical information. Although some of his stories were fanciful and others inaccurate, he states he was reporting only what was told to him and was often correct in his information. Despite Herodotus' historical significance, little is known of his personal history.

Chris Pelling (Regius Professor of Greek, Oxford University) introduces the Greek historian Herodotus.
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. Please subscribe, like, or share, if you enjoy it. I sure would appreciate it. Totally Awesome Histoy blog: http://totally-awesome-history.blogspot.tw/ This episode was filmed entirely in Taiwan.

Herodotus (The Histories) George Rawlinson Translation (1858)
In which John compares and contrasts Greek civilization and the Persian Empire. Of course we're glad that Greek civilization spawned modern western civilization, right? Maybe not. From Socrates and Plato to Darius and Xerxes, John explains two of the great powers of the ancient world, all WITHOUT the use of footage from 300.

Patrick Brigham, author of Herodotus - The Gnome of Sofia interviewed by Talk Radio Europe about his book, which is set against a backdrop of political change in South Eastern Europe.The story embraces disgruntled communists, cold war warriors,intrigue, deception and finally murder. Sir Arthur Cumberpot has an unspectacular career which is swiftly drawn to a close when he is appointed British Ambassador to Bulgaria. Due to some unforeseen mishaps his wife Annabel is accused of being a spy and sent home to their house in Watlington while her background is checked by MI5.Annabel is guilty of nothing, other than being the biological daughter of Jim Kilbey, Britain's most famous spy. It seems that a jealous god has sought to visit the sins of the father upon her, but so has everyone else. She...

25 May 2015 What do the Charlie Hebdo murders and the rise of the Islamic State owe to Islam? It would be comforting to insist, as many have done, that they owe nothing at all; but Holland, in the inaugural Christopher Hitchens Lecture, argues that the truth is more complex. The best way to combat jihadism, he proposes, is to recognise the centrality of Muhammad to Islam – and that he comes in many forms. There is the moral leader who swallowed abuse peaceably; and there is the war leader who ordered people who insulted him put to death. How best, then, to de-radicalise the Prophet? Tom Holland is author of In The Shadow of the Sword, Rubicon, Persian Fire, Millennium and the new translation of The Histories by Herodotus. Chaired by Katrin Bennhold of the New York Times.
