The Sixth Book of Herodotus covers the history of Greece in the first decade of the 5th century B.C., including such momentous events as the Ionian Revolt and the Marathon campaign. This commentary, aimed at undergraduates and sixth formers, introduces the work of one of the most significant and entertaining writers of his day, whose influence on the development of prose literature in general and historiography in particular was of paramount importance. This BCP edition replaces that of E. S. Shuckburgh, first published in 1889, at a time when the student's knowledge of Greek grammar and syntax was very much greater than is the case today; accordingly this commentary offers the detailed explanation on these points which was not previously necessary. In addition several generations of scholars have broadened immeasurably our understanding of Greek history since Shuckburgh's day and included here are those matters of historical interpretation which arise from the narrative.
This edition reproduces Shuckburgh's Greek text, but has a completely new introduction and up-to-date bibliography.
