Go to Egypt

Snakes with Wings and Gold-Digging Ants
by Herodotus

From the Great Journeys series.

So much of what is known of the Ancient World comes from Herodotus that he will always remain the greatest of historians. In this collection, he reveals his enormous, omnivorous, sometimes credulous appetite for stories of distant lands and strange creatures.

Penguin's new Great Journeys series presents the most incredible tours, voyages, treks, expeditions, and travels ever written--from Isabella Bird's exaltation in the dangers of grizzlies, rattlesnakes, and cowboys in the Rocky Mountains to Marco Polo's mystified reports of a giant bird that eats elephants during his voyage along the coasts of India. Each beautifully packaged volume offers a way to see the world anew, to rediscover great civilizations and legends, vast deserts and unspoiled mountain ranges, unusual flora and strange new creatures, and much more.
