The Liarschool of Herodotus - A History of Science

Kendrick Pritchett: A great classical scholar at UC Berkeley, I knew him very well and he was very kind to me. He wrote once a book called the Liarschool of Herodotus. And he went through every single story that appears in the histories in the first five books That people had cited for centuries, but especially now. The postmodernist of the 1980s gave him a little boost because they said, well, you know, Thucydides outlines his scientific method when he says these stories are made up.
