Herodotus 
The History Of Herodotus Vol-2 

The History of Herodotus is a monumental work of ancient Greek literature that spans over two volumes. Volume 2 of the History of Herodotus, written by Herodotus himself, continues where the first volume left off, recounting the events of the Persian Wars between the Greeks and the Persians. The book begins with the story of the Battle of Marathon, where the Athenians defeated the Persians in a surprising victory. Herodotus then delves into the events leading up to the second Persian invasion, including the intrigue and betrayal that took place within the Persian court. Throughout the book, Herodotus provides rich and detailed descriptions of the cultures and customs of the various peoples involved in the conflict, from the Persians to the Greeks to the various tribes of Asia Minor. He also includes stories of individual heroism and treachery, adding depth and nuance to the historical events he recounts.
