"A well-presented volume with an easy-to-handle and clear layout, including the essential chapter numbers for rapid reference. It has a short introduction from Romm, which is designed to help students orientate themselves in the world of Herodotus. . . . He also usefully provides frequent footnotes to the text (on the same page) to explain and expand upon possible difficulties in the text. . . . There are helpful maps and some illustrations, as well as a useful list of main characters and places, which make the overall presentation highly professional and user friendly.
"The final recommendation, however, must depend on the quality of the translation itself: Mensch's version is modern and highly readable, making Herodotus's narrative race along.
"Other versions of Herodotus are of course available but the layout and consideration shown to the reader make this one worthy of serious consideration as a textbook." —The Journal of Classics Teaching
