An Entity of Type : owl:Thing, within Data Space : dbkwik.org associated with source dataset(s)

The Histories, though The Inquiries or The Researches are better translations of the Greek title, were divided by Alexandrian know-it-all editors who were obviously obsessed with mythology into nine books, named after the nine Muses. At its simplest and broadest level of meaning, The Histories is structured as a dynastic history of four Persian kings.
