Embark on a fascinating journey through the ancient world with Herodotus, the father of history. Carlos Goñi presents an enjoyable and educational tour, where we will discover how Pharaoh Psamético unraveled the mystery of the first inhabitants of the world, the fall of Croesus and his empire, and the curious origin of the Persian king Cyrus. Through his stories, we will learn about the imposing walls of Babylon, the birth of geometry in Egypt, and how the neighing of a horse crowned King Darius. Relive the epic battles between Persians and Greeks, from Marathon to Plataea, and discover why Xerxes whipped the sea and how Thermopylae defined the future of the West. A book that invites us to reflect on the teachings of history, the teacher of life, in the words of Cicero.
