This Companion provides an up-to-date and accessible series of chapters examining the main aspects of the life and work of Herodotus, the first historian in the western tradition.

A distinguished international team of scholars provides an introduction to his life and work as well as discussion of his intellectual background, his working methods and narrative techniques, and his views on nature and the gods, and history and human achievement.
