Herodotus' Greatest Hits Crossword Puzzle

Home» Crosswords» General
Herodotus' History, people and places. Kings, heros, major battles, the "great and marvelous deeds". Transliterating Greek words is always tricky. oi or oe? ai, ae, or e? Greek -os or Latinized -us? And what about words the Spartans and Athenians couldn't agree how to spell, like names ending in -es or -as? I can't claim any consistency, but at least you know what to try.
