With its kaleidoscopic blend of fact and legend, the "Histories" offers a compelling Greek view of the world of the fifth century BC.

Beide Vereinigungen werden von einer einzelnen Supermacht dominiert, die ihr politisches System überall durchsetzen will – auch mit robusten Methoden. Die Konfrontation endet zum Glück anders: Nach dem modernen Kalten Krieg triumphierten die Demokratien.
