One of the most fabulously useful resources on the Web
is the Online Books Page at http://onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/
an attempt to keep up and index all books and major texts in=20
English available for free on the Web.

A search for Herodotus there turns up one translation of "An
Account of Egypt" and three of the "Histories":

A search for Xenophon turns up too many to summarize here:

Also of interest might be the MIT Internet Classics Archive
(http://classics.mit.edu/), and the Perseus Project at
Tufts (http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/).

Hope this helps,
