The History of Herodotus, Vol. 1 of 4 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The History of Herodotus, Vol. 1 of 4 Books into which the history is divided. In the running comment upon the text which the foot-notes furnish, while it is hoped that no really important illustration of the narrative of Herodotus from classical writers of authority has been omitted, the main endeavour has been to confine such comment within reasonable compass, and to avoid the mistake into which Lar cher and Bahr have fallen, of overlaying the text with the com mentary. If the principle here indicated is anywhere infringed, it will be found that the infringement arises from a press of modern matter not previously brought to bear upon the author, and of a character which seemed to require juxtaposition with his statements.
