Thank you for uploading this video. Ever since work installed wifi two years ago, I've been going youtube history channels and exhausted all their vids. I got a sigh of relief when I saw it was 10 hours. No more flipping around for a bit
check history related podcasts too.,...you can listen to University lecture series that are usually an hour and a half long or so, and Greek or Roman history series can be over 150 lectures, on after another. "Internet Archive" too. just search for what you like.,...you've only seen/heard the tip of the ice-berg. have fun!😉👍
i had to study this at school- and it was interesting, but I used to listen to it as I fell asleep and now this just sends me to sleep and its fantastic
1st of all thanks 4 the great upload. Hallelujah, it seems that all the volunteer readers are capable of using well modulate voices with enough inflection to show understanding/interest of the subject matter. In addition, the overall volume is maintained consistently. And that's saying a lot for Librivox if you know what I mean. 2 thumbs up! Let's keep our fingers crossed 4 the next volume.
43:52 "for that other, since he is ruined, he doesn't exist for me" I can't believe a 2000 year old book just made me LOL (listening to this while as I'm cramming a drawing for an assignment)
I Wish Audible would have had Graham Redmun narrate this book. I dearly hope he is still with us! Unfortunately I believe David Timson's narration, on Audible (although I usually love him narrating) is not quite right for Herodotus, I think Graham Redmun's no nonsense and no artifice minimalist approach is spot on and really helps the listener hear the actual information clearly.
@4:34:10 One of the most overlooked statements Herodotus ever made. He is hinting that Egypt compared to what it was is dead even in his era. That Thebes used to BE EGYPT and the delta was some minor far away part of it. He is almost saying Egypt has been turned upside down and weakened. Thank Psamtik I for that
I like how real the mythology is. I’m thankful for all of the scientific progress we’ve made but it’s cool listening to him talk about the gods and things like the Phoenix in historical terms.
Phoinix is the mythological bird that is reborn from its ashes. The Phoenicians were called by the ancient Greeks various populations of Semitic origin that were engaged in maritime trade in the Mediterranean. These may have included Aramaeans, Assyrians and other peoples from the Middle East. In other respects, the Greeks used the general term "Phoenicians" for all the Eastern merchants of the East who carried exotic products and spoke exotic languages, and not for a specific city-state, ethnicity, language or cultural group.
Interesting, for sure. However, I'd make a distinction between the scientific method we have developed and the emerging cult of Science that we are beginning to see today; Two very different things. The latter of which is becoming a godless religion and will prove dangerous in time.
Everyone talked about phoenix.phen.fenris.feng the dragon in China.maybe it was a real thing.maybe it was a major astronomical phenomenon that orbits us on a long orbit.maybe it's coming back in 2040 to do what it always does
There has always been artistic license in Hollywood but, it's undeniable, that they're now just purposely rewriting history to appeal to contemporary ideological dogma and consumerism.
Herodotus is wonderful! Just so you know, alot of what he says does end up NOT being true, but I do believe he wrote it to the best of his ability. He also did lie about quite a few things - for example, most historians (i, also, studied history extensively, and it is my speciality) know that he didn't go to Egypt, or many of the places he says he visited, but only spoke to people who had, or who were from those places.. BUT, HE IS, NEVERTHELESS, A WONDERFUL SOURCE ON MANY ASPECTS OF HISTORY OF HIS PERIOD, AND OTHERS, AND, ALONG WITH THAT, A WONDERFUL WRITER! ● HEY! A GREAT ANCIENT WRITER IS XENOPHON!! HE WAS ONE OF "THE 10,000," A GROUP OF GREEK MERCENARIES WHO FOUGHT IN A PERSIAN CIVIL WAR, HAD THE PERSON FOR WHOM THEY WERE FIGHTING DIE - EVEN THOUGH THEY WOULD HAVE WON THE BATTLE - AND, SUBSEQUENTLY, HAD TO MARCH, WHILE BEING PERSUED, OVER A THOUSAND MILES BACK TO GREECE THROUGH PRESIAN TERRITORY. XENOPHON IS WHAT WAS A MUCH MORE COMMON THING THEN - AND, EVEN, AS LATE AS WORLD WARS 1 AND 2 - THAN IT IS TODAY: A SOLDIER (OR GENERAL) WHO IS ALSO A TRUE HISTORIAN. IT IS TRULY FASCINATING, BECAUSE, AS THEY'RE MARCHING BACK TO GREECE, THEY PASS MANY ABANDONED CITIES (LIKE NINEVEH - THE ASSYRIANS, ASSUR - ASSYRIANS, ETC.)AND HE DISCUSSES THE CITIES, CULTURES AND PRACTICES, HISTORIES, PEOPLES, ETC., OF EVERY PLACE THROUGH WHICH HE PASSES. I THINK YOU WOULD LOVE HIM! HE - ALTHOUGH I LOVE HERODOTUS - IS ONE OF THE BEST ( AT LEAST, ONE OF MY FAVORITES!) LITERARY/HISTORICAL SOURCES ! I'VE LOVED HIM SINCE I FIRST READ HIM WHILE I WAS GETTING MY FIRST UNDERGRAD DEGREE! LIKE HERODOTUS, I CAN READ XENOPHON OVER AND OVER, AND OVER, AND ENJOY IT EVERY SINGLE TIME!!
Hey friend TH-cam ask me to rate your comment.. but I don't believe my opinion of anyone's common is relevant. I took a screenshot of this it won't let me apply it here, but I felt that somebody needs to keep the honest, honest around here..
I have yet to know what Herodotus has to say in the chapters read by a certain narrator. While they have a perfectly fine voice, that would be perfect for many things and genres, but I just can't make it more than a minute before skipping ahead until it returns to a voice that fits the material. It's so bad. It's like a 95 year old man reading the diary of a 13 year old girl, and my brain just can't pay attention to the words.
He and Tacitus definitely came from different schools of thought. At the end of his histories some... Colorful things to say about Jews and Christians. Both the cultures and religions have changed sufficiently that even if there was any truth to the accusations they no longer apply. Does it make me a bad person that I thought that section was hilarious?
@@sh-hg4eg it's been a while since I read it so the specific details are a bit fuzzy but in the case of the Jews it was a really a criticism of Jewish culture, which I can fairly sure has changed considerably since the population of the province was scattered. In the case of christians the religion as we know it bares very little resemblance to it's early forms. At the time they were zealots following an outlawed religion. They were basically a cult in the modern sense of the word.
@@ChristopherOttersen interesting. Thank you for your response. I am yet to reach the part in question but it will be interesting to see what he has to say.
Since he had some errors he is now the 'father of lies' even though much of his error is admitted by his own precautions and he had the obligation to report what he had heard. If he is the father of lies then the bible is archaeological fools gold.
Modern schools teach little of value, regarding history. In England you will learn about Romans, Norman invasion, Henry VIII, WWI, WWII and that's it. Nothing about the founding of the nation, the pre-Anglo-Saxon era (you'll maybe get Beowulf for the following Anglo-Saxon era), nothing about the civil wars and certainly nothing about the great western canons, such as this. This history you are taught is often done so in a one sided fashion, to give a false impression of wider society at that time, such as various brutal invasions being championed as examples of diversity or the grotesque misrepresentation of human bondage in human history, for political reasons. To teach history honestly often means going against the modern egalitarian dogma or, at the very least, it means eating up time from other useless classes or classes that have been padded out with thinly disguised propaganda from the prevailing ideological dogma of today.
I thoroughly appreciate this audiobook being posted, but why the hell do you volunteer to read if you cannot pronounce half the words or if your going to nasally mumble through it? Graham should've read the whole thing.
Unfortunately, at the 5th hour, a woman starts reading who does not have a good reading voice and doesn't know the pronunciation of words: she pronounced Heraklis (Hercules) as Hur-a-culs (like miracles). then = den, other = udder... Dionysus = Di-on-is-is.... Patience.
I just got to that part now, I don't think english is her first language or shes just not at all familiar with how those words are pronounced ( she does sound young)
You realy need a good audio reader for this type of Ancient work I can tell a good voice when I hear one. Any way these are free audio books can't complain I cam think of alot of good audio book readers some famous some not so.

It means they are well considered and rational. Although, you'll find other writers often portray this trait of the Athenians as inhibiting and, in the context of democracy, open to abuse. Indeed, democratic rule was largely considered a poor system later on, due to the above considerations of how slow it is today react, that it is often open to serial corruption (think of modern politicians) and, with the advent of mass emancipation, that it eventually becomes a race to the lowest common denominator.
Romulus and Remus were still on the tit when most of the histories of Herodotus were already in ancient history. Tragedy of Alexandria and it's Most advanced Library in the ancient world, unfortunately lost irreplaceable manuscripts. As per the greatest written histories to ever be compiled and housed in any single place proved to be a major change in education, but also a lesson to not have so many irreplaceable manuscripts in one place so that no single fire could be such a blow to our current understanding s of the ancient world. Unfortunately we will never be able to Know all, of the lost treasures of knowledge.

Africa and the Americas are vastly different than implied domestic population. Due to be uncomfortable truth for some, but we need to revise the land bridge theory as the primary point of population movements between Asia and the Americas. New information has not fully been processed yet to be determined that the Bering sea land bridge was the primary route to inhabitants of North America and Central America let alone the vast distance from Brazil to Patagonia. Keeping this in mind the Nubians of tribal life had No written languages. Only during the Nubian dominant era of ancient Egypt did they use the same hyrogliphs.
Comprehension does not equal truth, when you say every non Nubian is a direct result of invasion. I ain't beefin by saying this . Respect, just there is so much in history and allot of the peices seem to fit then we have shit that really can challenge what we percieved as truth and I am a white African.
The devil can be a fortune teller as well as his minions the fallen Angels or gods. They have been trying to copy the Jewish then Christian rituals from the beginning, I see this intertwined with mythology & the Holt Bible. So interesting and very well read
So the Ethiopians lived to 120 years and ate boiled meat of every creature under 4 foot high , freely available on their altar if the sun and they drank milk. They refused to eat the wheat dough bread of tPersians who only lived to be 80 . But they liked their palm wine
120 years seems an exaggerated account but similar descriptions of vigour and health are made of the Mongolians and Scythians who subsisted off similar pastoral diets. They were considered stronger, healthier and able to go longer between meals than people on a grain based diet. There is speculation on this being a factor in their ability to dominate neighbouring regions.
Where did you get that idea? are you american? Turkey did not exist in ancient times it is a modern nation founded by Kemal Ataturk, and the land area is now called Asia Minor.
Herodotus is great, the only thing I dislike is his obvious (and ridiculous) nationalistic exaggerations - I mean does anyone really buy that at the Battle of Plataea the Greeks managed to kill 257,000 Persians while only losing 159 men? You would NEVER see Thucydides exaggerating casualty numbers, and Thucydides himself was an Athenian general.
Thucydides is my favourite history writer. To me, his passion in recording the events he wrote of as accurate as possible is evident. He wanted the absolute facts to be given to the future generations (AKA: US) and I absolutely loved that.

Right
Phoinix is the mythological bird that is reborn from its ashes.
The Phoenicians were called by the ancient Greeks various populations of Semitic origin that were engaged in maritime trade in the Mediterranean. These may have included Aramaeans, Assyrians and other peoples from the Middle East. In other respects, the Greeks used the general term "Phoenicians" for all the Eastern merchants of the East who carried exotic products and spoke exotic languages, and not for a specific city-state, ethnicity, language or cultural group.
Interesting, for sure. However, I'd make a distinction between the scientific method we have developed and the emerging cult of Science that we are beginning to see today; Two very different things. The latter of which is becoming a godless religion and will prove dangerous in time.

Introduction
Thought is the part of man that marks him from the other animals. Knowledge of thought is therefore honorable.
The contents are divided into On Representation, On Mental Represention and On Thought.
The reason for the topic is that philospers in the sense of philospers of cognative science are prone to use this expression "mental representation" though it's unclear what they mean ny this or what their own sources are nor why they beleive that thought can be said to be a "mental representation". It's plain that thst it has to be mental representation or it cannot be mental representation at the same moment in the same respect. There is a hypothesis that the philospers in the sense of philosophy of cognative science were under the influence of Arthur Schopenhauer, and Immanuel Kant. But such supposition will take us away from the subject matter.
One of the austro-german variations of the numerous post-hegalian philosophies, was used to "eliminate metaphysics" by such organisations as the "Berlin Circle", "Vienna Circle", etc. during the so-called "lingustic turn". The culture of Britian was suitable for such an operation( the tendency can already spotted in the promotion of empiricism, utilitarianism, scepticism, etc. in British culture) and Cambridge Apostles, an apparent secret society, in opposition to the Oxford hegalians or neo-hegalians such as F.H. Bradley and T. H. Green, was atleast sucessful atleast in persuading some faculties departments-mainly around domain that was once governed by the British Empire( and some north European countries too)-thsy

"Athenians said to be the subtlest of Greeks" this said as virtue what does being subtle mean then?
Meaning they are not gluttonous and take what the need and not overstep.
They are not rash or quick tempered. The most thoughtful.
It means they are well considered and rational. Although, you'll find other writers often portray this trait of the Athenians as inhibiting and, in the context of democracy, open to abuse. Indeed, democratic rule was largely considered a poor system later on, due to the above considerations of how slow it is today react, that it is often open to serial corruption (think of modern politicians) and, with the advent of mass emancipation, that it eventually becomes a race to the lowest common denominator.
This is the first of Herrodotos I have ever heard. Can someone tell me if he visits and tells of the Celts/Gauls?
This is 500 before Rome and the galic wars
Romulus and Remus were still on the tit when most of the histories of Herodotus were already in ancient history. Tragedy of Alexandria and it's
Most advanced Library in the ancient world, unfortunately lost irreplaceable manuscripts. As per the greatest written histories to ever be compiled and housed in any single place proved to be a major change in education, but also a lesson to not have so many irreplaceable manuscripts in one place so that no single fire could be such a blow to our current understanding s of the ancient world. Unfortunately we will never be able to Know all, of the lost treasures of knowledge.

please when you post ads make sure the volume is not so loud that it breaks the eardrums. I do not mind a couple of ads but I will skip ads before 30 seconds thus you do not make pennies from this listener. Try listening to a book you post after adding the ads, then you'll understand a legitimate complaint as opposed to whinging.
that is youtube.....
Africa and the Americas are vastly different than implied domestic population. Due to be uncomfortable truth for some, but we need to revise the land bridge theory as the primary point of population movements between Asia and the Americas.
New information has not fully been processed yet to be determined that the Bering sea land bridge was the primary route to inhabitants of North America and Central America let alone the vast distance from Brazil to Patagonia.
Keeping this in mind the Nubians of tribal life had No written languages. Only during the Nubian dominant era of ancient Egypt
did they use the same hyrogliphs.
Comprehension does not equal truth, when you say every non Nubian is a direct result of invasion. I ain't beefin by saying this . Respect, just there is so much in history and allot of the peices seem to fit then we have shit that really can challenge what we percieved as truth and I am a white African.

The devil can be a fortune teller as well as his minions the fallen Angels or gods. They have been trying to copy the Jewish then Christian rituals from the beginning, I see this intertwined with mythology & the Holt Bible. So interesting and very well read
You're right.
02:22:30 Part VII, Book I. Par. 114.
So the Ethiopians lived to 120 years and ate boiled meat of every creature under 4 foot high , freely available on their altar if the sun and they drank milk. They refused to eat the wheat dough bread of tPersians who only lived to be 80 . But they liked their palm wine
120 years seems an exaggerated account but similar descriptions of vigour and health are made of the Mongolians and Scythians who subsisted off similar pastoral diets. They were considered stronger, healthier and able to go longer between meals than people on a grain based diet. There is speculation on this being a factor in their ability to dominate neighbouring regions.
Nah its all facts
Dream listening
"Asia" means Turkey.
The Alternative Hypothesis thank you. also i didn't expect to find you here but the fact you are makes sense. you make very quality videos
The Alternative Hypothesis Asia minor*
When an ancient Greek is talking about "Asia", he means Turkey. He doesn't mean Persia.
Where did you get that idea? are you american? Turkey did not exist in ancient times it is a modern nation founded by Kemal Ataturk, and the land area is now called Asia Minor.
He means Asia in ancient Greek texts = Anatolia = Modern Turkey.
Herodotus is great, the only thing I dislike is his obvious (and ridiculous) nationalistic exaggerations - I mean does anyone really buy that at the Battle of Plataea the Greeks managed to kill 257,000 Persians while only losing 159 men? You would NEVER see Thucydides exaggerating casualty numbers, and Thucydides himself was an Athenian general.
thucydides is so sadly and unforgivablly unknown.....the era of trechery and mistrust he described is with us again.
+Scott Awaywithit In this book I found about the french political idea history, the part about Hellenistic things mentioned him many times.
thucydides was and still is standard reading for military command across the west.
Thucydides is my favourite history writer. To me, his passion in recording the events he wrote of as accurate as possible is evident. He wanted the absolute facts to be given to the future generations (AKA: US) and I absolutely loved that.
Sammy ‘i am bound to tell what i am told, but not in every case believe it’-Herodotus
There's a lot of people that existed before we were born
So… what are you in for? Veritas? CC? We’ve all been there
Does Herodotus talk about Jesus or the exodus of the Jews from Babylon?
I don't know about j
Jews and the exile but certainly he couldn't have talked about Jesus since he was living 5 centuries before Jesus was born.
