He has been called the \"Father of History\", and was the first historian known to collect his materials systematically, test their accuracy to a certain extent and arrange them in a well-constructed and vivid narrative. The Histories-his masterpiece and the only work he is known to have produced-is a record of his \"inquiry\", being an investigation of the origins of the Greco-Persian Wars and including a wealth of geographical and ethnographical information. The Histories, were divided into nine books, named after the nine Muses: the \"Muse of History\", Clio, representing the first book, then Euterpe, Thaleia, Melpomene, Terpsichore, Erato, Polymnia, Ourania and Calliope for books 2 to 9, respectively.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Herodotus Herodotus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1617207691\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781617207693\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e SMK Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.22d","brand":"Herodotus Herodotus","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48136829534463,"sku":"9781617207693","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a72cf7a8-56f4-460b-8a2a-c95d0d0f018a.jpg?v=1770164801","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-histories-book-1-herodotus-herodotus-9781617207693","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
