Book Hero thinking about your next read

Herodotus' account of Egyptian history and customs is, within the context of his account of the Greco-Persian conflict, an example of 'the father of history' at work. History in its broadest context here includes anthropology, natural history and virtually any piece of 'antiquarian' information that appealed to him.
