These books are a comprehensive study of the works of the ancient Greek historian, Herodotus. Written by Heinrich Stein, a German classical scholar, this book aims to provide readers with a deeper understanding and appreciation of Herodotus' writing. The book is organized into chapters that cover various topics, such as Herodotus' life and historical context, his narrative style, and his treatment of different cultures and traditions. Stein also includes detailed analyses of Herodotus' major works, including the "Histories," and provides helpful commentary and explanations throughout the text.

Herodotus wrote a nine-volume work titled "The Histories," which is considered one of the first major works of history in Western literature. The book covers the Persian Wars between Greece and Persia in the 5th century BCE and explores the cultures and histories of the people involved. It includes stories of great battles, famous leaders, and significant events, as well as descriptions of various customs, beliefs, and practices of the people of that time.
