Audio tapes for Herodotus’s works

“Dr Lisa Irene Hau provided some useful links that I would like to share with you of Herodotus audio books.

Naxos have several works of ancient literature in their audio book cd range. For Herodotus, see:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Herodotus-The-Persian-War-Histories/dp/B0000045ON/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1352116076&sr=8-1

Here’s a link:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Histories-Unabridged/dp/B002SQ17O2/ref=sr_1_7?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1352116075&sr=1-7

Try I-Tunes audiobooks. I downloaded an unabridged Herodotus translation read by a Shakespearean actor from there.

Loads of them available at Audible (Amazon’s audio book marketing platform):

  1. I’m going to be reading The Histories as part of my project to read 100 works of classic literature in the next 6 years!
