Summary: No series captures Herodotus like Loeb (forget Penguin!).
Comment: Designed with both the amateur and the professional classicist in mind the Loeb series captures Herodotus (and all the other authors I have read) better than any other series. Unlike other publishers (for example Penguin) the Loeb seems truer to the original Greek, although my skill at reading ancient Greek is by no means exceptional; however, I can honestly tell a difference between the Loeb and the economy-translations. The Loebs may cost a bit more than these other translations, but the price is worth it: they are extremely well made. There are, of course, other good translations of Herodotus, such as the <> but this text only contains portions of Herodotus' work. I recommend the Loeb version to anyone seeking not just an excellent translation but a piece to add to their library as well.
