Herodotus: Persian Wars: A Companion to the Penguin Translation of Histories V-IX by Herodotus

cer350w1's review against another edition

5.0

I love history,especially concerning the antiquities. So honestly this would have gotten 4 stars no matter what. That being said,the pairing of classical music and Roy Marsden's smooth and unencumbered narration of all the epic battles, speeches, military stratagem and geography made it truly 3 dimensional. Xerxes as the English would say was a true c@#t. His ascension to the throne is mini series material.
