Product Description Comme il hesitait a entrer en conflit avec Cyrus, Cresus, roi de Lydie, consulte l'oracle qui l'assure de la fin d'un grand empire. Par la suite, pieds et poings lies sur le bucher destine au vaincu, Cresus comprend, un peu tard, que l'empire voue a la catastrophe etait le sien. L'anecdote, extraite du livre I, est aussi celebre que propice a la meditation. Elle illustre la toute aussi fameuse reflexion du preambule, la prosperite humaine ne demeure jamais fixee au meme endroit splendeurs et miseres des regimes politiques, tel pourrait etre le soustitre de ce premier livre, dedies successivement aux premiers conflits entre Grecs et Barbares, aux histoires de Cresus et a celles de Cyrus. Moins connu que le livre II, le livre I n'en est pas moins riche d'anecdotes edifiantes et delicieuses: les songes des rois et leurs interpretations farfelues, Gyges l'imposteur, le courage de Cleobis et Biton et la naissance de Cyrus, autant d' histoires que le lecteur trouvera dans ce premier livre, sous la plume malicieuse et clairvoyante d'Herodote. Notre edition presente en un volume a part le livre I des Histoires. Pour faciliter la lecture, le texte est divise en trois parties, le prologue, les histoires lydiennes et l'ascension de Cyrus, chacune precedee d'une notice introductive. Celleci met en evidence la composition du recit et propose de judicieux paralleles avec des auteurs traitant du meme sujet. La question des sources, et celle de la methode historique sont analysees en detail. Des notes, fournissant toutes les informations necessaires a la bonne intelligence du texte accompagnent la lecture.
