Herodotus, a native of Halicarnassus (now Bodrum in western Turkey) active during the mid-5th century BC, wrote in Greek a history of the conflicts between the Greek world and the Persian Empire that came to a head in the invasion by Xerxes in 480/479 BC. His complex account is a rich source not only for the events of the Persian Wars, but also for Greek cultural values, particularly Greek attitudes to war and to foreigners.
