Claughton's Herodotus and the Persian Wars provides a lively new
translation of selections from the Histories, most of which come from
the major battle narratives.  The notes are often helpful in giving
cross-references within Herodotus (and sometimes to other authors) and
in explaining common Greek customs and beliefs.  The numerous color
illustrations and maps are valuable and laudable additions.  However,
the lack of variety in the selections, the omission of an introduction,
the restricted bibliography, and the failure to address much modern
scholarship will limit the usefulness of this text.
