The Persian Wars is part history, part geography, part anthropology...and completely entertaining. It possesses a charm that is legendary. However, over and above this, Herodotus has succeeded for all time in brilliantly expressing the conflict between the ideal of the free man defending his liberty within a state based on the rule of law, and that of the despot who bases his rule on brute force and whose subjects are considered slaves.

Better on paper, I think.

Well, I should have been warned when listening to the sample, so it's all my fault, but Charlton Griffin's stagey, portentous narration becomes painful after a very short time, and the great words of Herodotus start to sound almost comical. Give this one a miss. I never even bothered downloading Part 2. I'll buy the actual book instead, I think.
