"The most densely annotated, richly illustrated, and user friendly edition of his Histories ever to appear."
–Daniel Mendelsohn, The New Yorker
"A first-rate achievement. Nothing is missing.... Like a Global Positioning System for Herodotus's world. Strassler has made it simply impossible to get lost."
–
The New York Sun
"Stunning.... Bears the same superb production and scholarly qualities of his earlier The Landmark Thucydides.... Andrea Purvis' new translation is taut and lucid."
–Houston Chronicle
"A real service.... Considerably improves accessibility by integrating hundreds of maps and extensive timelines, amplifies the first historian's own epic accomplishment."
–Forbes
