[Herodotus2010] Listen to the Herodotus Introduction online

[Thomas Tilley]

Hi,

My name is Tom Tilley. I'm British and moved over to Los Angeles with my
wife when she began her PHD at USC. Prior to moving to the US I spent the
past 6 years working in the UK and Hong Kong as a corporate strategist for a
large British bank. I studied Classics as an undergraduate and want to renew
my engagement with the subject.

Regards,

Tom
