"Call No Man Happy Until He Is Dead" - Herodotus

http://www.amazon.com/review/R2AMW6LDQPKST9/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm

the first commenter on herodotus the histories at Amazon.com recommends the translation by someone named Green (1987).  Look for it in your local library system?  Or used.  Of other translations the one by Penguin Books was listed almost as good.

I first read this as a college freshman,  I liked it then & I still like it.
