Description
Fellow and Master of University College, Oxford, the classical scholar Reginald Walter Macan (1848-1941) published in 1908 this two-volume edition (in three parts) of the last books of Herodotus, which cover the Greco-Persian Wars during the period 486 to 479 BCE.
Part 1 of Volume 1 contains an extensive introduction, addressing the characteristics of each book, followed by the text of Book 7 in Greek, with commentary and scholarly apparatus.
Part 2 of Volume 1 contains the text of Books 8 and 9, and Volume 2 contains appendices, indexes and maps.
Macan also includes essays on supporting authorities, hypotheses on lost witnesses, and textual evidence presented by poets such as Pindar and the philosophers Plato and Aristotle.
Macan's edition remains valuable to scholars of the history of textual criticism and the historiography of the classical world.
