Description
In Herodotus's Histories, almost anything is capable of being invested with meaning--human speech, gifts, markings, and even the human body. This book represents an unprecedented examination of signs and their interpreters, as well as the terminology Herodotus uses to describe sign transmission, reception, and decoding.
