Über diesen Titel

 The Herodotus Podcast is a podcast devoted to ”The Histories” by the ancient Greek historian Herodotus. Join us as we delve into his epic narrative of the Persian Empire‘s attempt to conquer the Greeks, and their struggle to preserve their freedom. Stick around for the captivating, sometimes outrageous stories that go along with the narrative: murders, ghosts, magic dolphins, and giant gold-digging ants.Copyright 2021 All rights reserved. Welt

It’s a very detailed commentary which gives a nice summary and interesting information on key passages of the Histories. Great speaker, recorded with nice sound effects and some good humor. Fully recommended to anyone reading or studying Herodotus.
