ARCHIVE - 13. HERODOTUS - THE HISTORIES~BOOK VIII/SECTIONS 1-144 (12/08/08 - 12/14/08) ~ No spoilers, please

[Bentley, Group Founder, Leader, Chief]

Hello Everyone,

For the week of December 8th through December 14th, we are reading approximately the next 50 pages of Herodotus - The Histories.

This thread will discuss the following book and sections:

(Book VIII- Sections 1 - 144)

We will open up a thread for each week's reading. Please make sure to post in the particular thread dedicated to those specific chapters and page numbers to avoid spoilers. We will also open up supplemental threads.

NOTE:

In the Penguin Edition, Book VIII, section 1 starts on page 501 and goes through section 144 which concludes on page 553.

This thread should only deal with these sections and with Book Eight (although previous parts of Herodotus already discussed can be referenced). No spoilers, please.

Discussion on these sections will begin on December 8th.

Welcome,

Bentley
