The Histories by Herodotus

The Histories by Herodotus

Herodotus set out to explain why the Greeks and Persians went to war, and got so distracted that the result is also the first travel book, the first ethnography, and a considerable amount of gossip.

Along the way: Egyptian mummification described step by step, giant gold-digging ants in India, the Scythians, Croesus misreading an oracle, and eventually Marathon, Thermopylae and Salamis. He reports what he was told and frequently adds that he does not believe it himself, which is why he invented history rather than myth.

The founding work of Western history, complete in a readable modern translation with notes.
