This single-authored volume is planned as one of a pair with an edition ofand commentary on bk. 6 in the same series, by the present author andChristopher Pelling in collaboration. Some sections of the Introductionto the present volume concern bk. 5 only; some concern both books; andsome topics common to both books (Hdt. and Homer; Hdt.’s handlingof Kleomenes and of Aigina) will be covered in the Introduction to bk.6. Chronology will be covered in both volumes; for the distribution, seethe Introduction, 3. For what is known or can be plausibly inferred aboutHerodotus’ life and travels, see S. West in Bowie 2007: 127–130.
The groundwork for the commentary on book 5 was done as part ofgraduate (MA) teaching at University College London (UCL). In 2008–9,I taught books 5 and 7 jointly with Professor C. Carey, and in 2009–10, mylast academic year at UCL, I taught books 5 and 6 onmy own. I am gratefulto Chris Carey for many insights and much shared enjoyment, and to allthe students for their stimulating contributions.
The text is an adapted version of Hude’s OCT, taking account of thechanges which will be made by Nigel Wilson in his forthcoming replace-ment OCT and in his companion volume Herodotea. Wilson and I wentthrough the text of book 5 in July 2012 and discussed, to my great profit,problem passages flagged up by one or other or both of us. I have alsoexploited Paul Maas’s marginal suggestions, as published in Wilson 2011.I warmly acknowledge all Nigel Wilson’s help, and his willingness to makehis material and conclusions available to me in advance of publication. Myown apparatus is short and mostly confined to essentials.
Richard Catling, Stephen Colvin, Esther Eidinow, Maria Fragoulaki,AlanGriffiths, Patrick James, AnneThompson,MartinWest and StephanieWest helped over particular problems. Chris Pelling read and commentedvery valuably on an early draft of the commentary. The General Editors,Pat Easterling and Richard Hunter, commented in great detail and withgreat patience on more than one draft of the entire work, Introduction aswell as commentary, and the book is much better as a result of their tren-chant comments. Angus Bowie kindly gave permission to reprint his sec-tion on Hdt.’s language. Alan Griffiths helped with the proof-correction,and made valuable last-minute suggestions of substance, indicated by‘AHG’. Everyone told me how lucky I was to be given Muriel Hall as copy-editor, and they were quite right. I thank her too.
I am grateful to my college, All Souls, for electing me to theresearch fellowship which since October 2010 has enabled me to worksimultaneously on this book and on a larger-scale commentary on theAlexandra of Lykophron.
Finally, I thank Oswyn Murray for undergraduate teaching at BalliolCollege Oxford more than forty years ago, as well as for his writings onHerodotus generally and on the Ionian revolt in particular.
Note: inscriptions are quoted, in full or in part, only when not available ineasily accessible collections. Otherwise mere references are given, includ-ing, where possible, additional references (with ‘=’) to English transla-tions in sourcebooks or elsewhere.
Abbreviations for Greek and Latin authors usually follow those in OCD4,except that Th. is Thucydides, Diod. is Diodorus and Pol. is Polybius;and Greek not Latin spellings are generally used, thus Lykoph. (i.e.Lykophron), not Lycoph., but not when a Latin spelling is very familiarindeed (thus Aesch. not Aiskh. for Aeschylus).
