The Histories

Book 68 out of 200 books
"The Histories" by Herodotus
Herodotus, dubbed "The Father of History", has many notes that he has to offer to the world. Those notes and anecdotes are all compiled to a single book, "The Histories", which he spent years writing. The book was published around 430 BC.
MY THOUGHTS:
This work, alongside Homer's "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey", are considered to be one of the founding works of not only western literature but world literature as well.
I give this book 3 stars because I have to admit, while I enjoyed reading some parts of this book, the book was a bore overall. Maybe I should've did basic research before actually reading this work.
Anyway, this work, I'd remark, is one of the meaningful and encyclopedic reads of 2021. I read this book before the end of the year.
