"One of the most important works of history in Western literature, by the freshest and liveliest of all classical Greek prose authors, Herodotus's Histories is also a key text for the study of ancient Greece and the Persian Empire. Covering a central and widely studied period of Greek history, Book V not only describes the revolt of the east Greeks against their Persian masters, which led to the great Persian Wars of 490-479 BC, but also provides fascinating material about the mainland Greek states in the sixth century BC.

The volume is suitable for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, teachers and scholars"-- "This single-authored volume is planned as one of a pair with an edition of and commentary on bk. in the same series, by the present author and Christopher Pelling in collaboration.

Chronology will be covered in both volumes; for the distribution, see , section 3. For what is known or can be plausibly inferred about Herodotus' life and travels"--
