Euterpe is a historical book written by the ancient Greek historian Herodotus. It is the second book in his series of nine books called The Histories. The book is named after the Greek muse Euterpe, who was the muse of music, song, and lyric poetry. Euterpe covers the history of ancient Egypt, including the reign of the pharaohs, the construction of the pyramids, and the religious practices of the Egyptians. Herodotus also discusses the customs and traditions of the Scythians, a nomadic people who lived in the region that is now Ukraine and Russia. The book is written in a narrative style, with Herodotus describing the events and people he encountered during his travels. He also includes his own observations and opinions on the cultures and societies he encountered. Euterpe is an important historical document, as it provides valuable insight into the ancient world and the beliefs and practices of its people. It is also an entertaining read, as Herodotus weaves together stories of war, politics, and culture into a fascinating narrative.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
