The Histories by Herodotus
Tuesday, February 12, 7:00 pm

Herodotus traveled the ancient world, recording what he saw, and what he was told, of the lands and cultures he encountered. To this day, the writings of Herodotus are used as a window, albeit sometimes hazy, through which to view the ancient past.

Gary Hunt of Iconoclast Bookstore will lead the discussion of The Histories and all are welcome to voice their opinions on the writings of Herodotus.
