The History of Herodotus — Volume 2
Produced by John Bickers, Dagny, and David Widger
"The History of Herodotus — Volume 2" by Herodotus is a historical account written in the late 5th century BC. The volume continues Herodotus’s exploration of the Greco-Persian Wars, weaving together various narratives that delve into the customs, wars, and peoples of the ancient world. The text reveals Herodotus's quest to document the events leading to the conflict between the Greeks and Persians, offering insights into different societies of that era. The opening of this volume introduces significant events involving the Persian military campaigns, particularly focusing on the conquest of Thrace and interactions with various tribes, including the Paionians and Thracians. Megabazos is appointed to secure Persian control over Thrace, while Herodotus details the customs of the tribes, such as the beliefs and funerary practices of the Thracians. The narrative shifts towards the relationships between Persian leaders and their Greek counterparts, setting the stage for escalating tensions that will culminate in warfare. He intricately describes the political dynamics through interactions involving Persian king Dareios, emphasizing the interplay of power, independence, and the historical significance of these regions in the face of impending conflict.
