The Importance of Symmetry in History

Epperson: Herodotus is very interested in symmetry to the stories So somebody does a bad thing There's gonna be a reversal and you're gonna get that back. The story of syrus, he took all those dishes that got used to mock the god of the jews And he gave him back to him. In harada this it's a little different set of values. It's a greek-ish set of values But we see that that story really played with his audience at that moment in time people were tired of these mega powers Being drunk on their authority and abusing their authority particularly the Assyrians and then the Babylonians after that.
