Herodoti Historiarum Libri IX by Herodotus
"Herodoti Historiarum Libri IX" by Herodotus is a historical work written in the 5th century BC. Considered the founding work of history in Western literature, it chronicles the rise of the Persian Empire and the dramatic conflicts between Persia and the Greek city-states. Herodotus frames this clash as a struggle between slavery and freedom, weaving together tales of ambitious rulers, cunning strategists, prophetic oracles, and fateful decisions that shaped the ancient world.
