The work focuses on the events and figures of the Greco-Persian Wars, aiming to preserve the deeds of people and the causes of their conflicts. It is regarded as one of the foundational texts of history, often referred to as "The Histories." The opening of the text introduces the author’s objective—to document historical events to prevent them from being forgotten over time. From the outset, Herodotus discusses the origins of hostilities between the Greeks and the Persians, highlighting the kidnapping of Io by Phoenician sailors and leading into a broader exploration of significant characters and events that influenced the power dynamics of the era. He sets the stage for a narrative that will traverse cities and significant figures, intertwining personal stories with the larger historical framework, including the rise of Lydia and its notable kings like Croesus.
