The Histories of Herodotus of Halicarnassus is considered the first work of history in Western literature. Written about 440 BC in the Ionic dialect of classical Greek, The Histories tells the story of the Greco-Persian Wars between the Achaemenid Empire and the Greek city-states in the 5th century BC. Herodotus travelled extensively around the ancient world, conducting interviews and collecting stories for his book. At the beginning of The Histories, Herodotus sets out his reasons for writing it:

I do not downplay Herodotus, his reputation as one of the earliest historians is undeniable.

Thanks for your sleuthing.
I found that one and got two new titles from it. I have several that he doesn't have.

Another dead end.
Phone number is disconnected.

Perhaps E Shaver Booksellers in Savannah, Georgia, and online, can help you. Antique, and out of print books are their specialty.
