Herodotoksen historia-teos I-II by Herodotus

"Herodotoksen historia-teos I-II" by Herodotus is a historical work written in the 5th century BC. Considered the founding work of Western history, it chronicles the rise of the Persian Empire and the dramatic conflicts between Persia and the Greek city-states. Herodotus frames these wars as a clash between slavery and freedom, weaving together tales of kings, oracles, conquests, and cultural customs. Through extensive travels and interviews, he preserves remarkable achievements and investigates the deep-rooted causes of hostilities between East and West.
