This book is a study of the religious beliefs of the ancient Greek historian Herodotus--his beliefs in divine retribution, in oracles and divination, in miracles or in fate. It seeks to show not only how such beliefs were central to his work, but also how they were compatible with lived experience.

Pressestimmen

This is a definitive work on Herodotus and Herodotean religion-balanced, learned, and wise. It should be an exemplar for all future discussions of ancient attitudes toward the divine, and the first chapter should be required reading for all students of Herodotus. It is almost as pleasurable and rewarding to read as Herodotus himself. C.M.C. Green, Choice, April 2001 fun to read, lively and knowledgeable. Edith Hall, Times Literary Supplement, 6 July 2001
