Whether you’re a classics scholar or a beginning student, the Landmark editions will help
you navigate these ancient texts with new understanding. From the travels of
Herodotus, the “father of history,” the events of the Peloponnesian War according to Thucydides and Xenophon, to
the far-reaching campaigns of Alexander the Great, explore the ancient world
with the contextual tools you need to more fully comprehend events and people
of centuries ago.
The Landmark Ancient Histories feature contemporary translations of classic
historians’ writings supported with extensive customized maps, illustrations, and
annotations. Marginal notes, dates, and locations are placed side by side with
the manuscript in a clear page format to help keep you oriented. Introductions
and appendices written by some of today’s leading scholars give insight to politics, culture, warfare, and other
subjects pertinent to the ancient texts. Encyclopedic indexes provide
cross-references to themes and events throughout the manuscripts.
