Herodotus and the Doorway to History

Best-selling author Jeanne Bendick takes us for another informativeâ€”and amusingâ€”journey into places and events of long ago. Herodotus and the Road to History, written in the first person, details the investigative journeys of Herodotusâ€”a contemporary of the Old Testament prophet Malachiâ€”as he takes ship from Greece and voyages to the limits of his own ancient world. His persistence, amidst disbelief and ridicule, in the self-appointed task of recording his discoveries as â€œhistoriesâ€ (the Greek word meaning â€œinquiryâ€), means that today we can still follow his expeditions into the wonder and mystery of Syria, Persia, Egypt and the â€œbarbaricâ€ north. Jeanne Bendick's lucid text, humorous illustrations and helpful maps entertain and instruct as they open the way for readers young and old to once again join Herodotus . . . on the road to history.
