Penguin Group‚ 2003. In the start of the fifth book‚ Herodotus tells of the beginning wars between the Persians and the Greeks. The reader can find Herodotus to be somewhat messy with his writing in the beginning of this book because it gets confusing. Herodotus seems to favor Histiaeus of Miletus by calling him kind and honorable. One of Herodotus’ main themes is the Persians conquest and we learn of how the govern and take over land.
