与司马迁齐名的西方史学大师希罗多德
最经典英语文库第六辑之《希罗多德历史》导读
李修利
希罗多德（约前484前425）是古希腊最伟大的历史学家兼作家。中国读者常常将他与写出伟大历史著作《史记》的作者司马迁（前145前90）相提并论。司马迁子承父业，担任太史令，并漫游各地，了解风俗，采集传闻；希罗多德同样用生动的笔触，将自己一生中远行时的所闻所见，以及波斯等国的历史记录下来，写成影响后世两千多年的书《希罗多德历史》。
古罗马著名的政论演说家西塞罗称希罗多德为
历史之父（pater historiae），可以说，一点都不为过，正如司马迁可以作为中国历史之父。
《希罗多德历史》这本书中，主要记录了希罗多德听说的很多历史故事。的确，这与司马迁有相似之处。事实上，《史记》里也有很多故事都是司马迁听来的。但这并不妨碍司马迁成为伟大的历史记录者。正因为他的记录，哪怕是道听途说来的故事，也都是完整地被记录下来，并通过书籍形式，传到两千多年后的今天。这本身不就是个奇迹么！设想没有司马迁的记录，则中国历史上的很多精彩故事，可能就会陷入黑暗之中，不被人所知。
