Madness of Cambyses
'Do you see your son, standing over there, in the antechamber? Introducing Little Black Classics: 80 books for Penguin's 80th birthday. Well, I am going to shoot him.' The story of the great and mad Cambyses, King of Persia, told by part-historian, part-mythmaker Herodotus of Halicarnassus.
They take us from a balloon ride over Victorian London to a garden of blossom in Japan, from Tierra del Fuego to 16th-century California and the Russian steppe. Little Black Classics celebrate the huge range and diversity of Penguin Classics, with books from around the world and across many centuries. Here are stories lyrical and savage; poems epic and intimate; essays satirical and inspirational; and ideas that have shaped the lives of millions.
Herodotus (c.484-425 BCE). Herodotus' The Histories is also available in Penguin Classics.
