[ SOLD OUT ] JOHNSON, W., The Essential Herodotus. Translation, Introduction, and Annotations by William A. Johnson. Oxford University Press, 2016. 288p. Paperback. This well-judged selection and charming translation splendidly brings out the variety and delights of Herodotus' text. It embraces not only the famous battle accounts (Marathon, Salamis) but also the less familiar, equally captivating ethnographic narratives, from the marvels of Lydia to the romantic liaisons of Amazons and Sauromatae and the Scythians' cannabis use. Helpful subtitles and introductions to each section will prove invaluable to the general reader who is encountering Herodotus for the first time. - Emily Baragwanath, University of North Carolina (Publisher's information).
