On May 14, 2014 Paul Cartledge and James Romm talked about Herodotus and the two new translations of his Histories. It’s well worth the hour to listen to the salon sponsored by Reading Odyssey, which can be found here.

I asked about other recent books on Herodotus they have enjoyed and they provided some books that will be added to my to-be-read stack soon in addition to the two new translations by Pamela Mensch and Tom Holland. Don’t forget Cartledge’s After Thermopylae: The Oath of Plataea and the End of the Graeco-Persian Wars (and his lecture on the book) or Romm’s Herodotus in the Hermes Book Series, both wonderful books as well.
