Herodotus's Account of Persia

"I don't have any gripes with Herodotus But you just have to read him for what he is to it. He's telling a story the kind of story that we get people to gather around and listen" "You'll hear a lot of historians use this characterization who isn't wearing silk slippers" 'Herodotus respects The common man who isn't soft Who isn't drunk on power'
