But while this epic struggle forms the core of his work, Herodotus' natural curiosity frequently gives rise to colourful digressions - a description of the natural wonders of Egypt; tales of lake-dwellers, dog-headed men and gold-digging ants. With its kaleidoscopic blend of fact and legend, The Histories offers a compelling Greek view of the world in the fifth century BC, in Aubrey de Sélincourt's elegant and celebrated translation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTranslated by AUBREY DE SÉLINCOURT\u003cbr\u003e\nRevised with an Introduction and notes by JOHN MARINCOLA\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 8601300102375\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.8 x 5.2 x 1.6 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English, Ancient Greek\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66561569554736,"sku":"Trans_9780140449082","price":445.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/91IkrDcou3L.jpg?v=1776444351","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/the-histories","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
