Herodotus and the Road to History

It took an exceptionally curious Greek to leave civilization behind for nine years just to travel the northern lands, recording the past events, customs and geographical settings of these (barbaric) peoples. No doubt about it, this was an extreme idea for 460 B.C. - but to Herodotus a fascinating one! And what mysterious, exciting and amusing things did he find and record in his travels to the distant lands of Syria, Persia and Egypt? Now you can find out for yourself by traveling with Herodotus ... on the road to history.
