Ancient Greek Historians: Herodotus and Thucydides

This thesis made great strides in the ancient Greek historians completing historical writing, the Roman historians (and the Greek historians writing Roman history) completed the art of history I will continue. The two Greeks, Herodotus and Tukdeides, practiced the truth and personal knowledge of historical events on prose and poetry (compared to Homer) and removed most of theological content. After this habit has been improved by Roman historians, especially Tashius, he used a better record of the times to maintain a more concise and accurate history and a personal understanding of the promoters and vibrators of t did.

The last contributor of ancient Greek literature was a historian: Herodotus, Thucydides, Polybius. Herodotus (484-425 BC) and Thucydides (460-400 BC) were written during the Peloponnesus War. Herodotus did not understand the early life much, but I am writing about the war of Athens and neighboring Sparta and the Persian War. Everywhere in his life, he was under the control of the Persians at the house of Halical Gassas of West Asia elementary and junior high school. He is often criticized for errors in facts, but his argument depends on earlier works and documents. His story, unlike previous writers, shows an understanding of human experience. He traveled many places and also went to Egypt.

Following Herodotus, famous ancient Greek Thucydides followed. He is a general Athenian historian, father of science history, and the father of a political realist school (this is a totally different theme). Thucydides considers history as a human choice and behavior while looking for a causal relationship, not Herodotus 'historical thought as a result of God' s intervention. Until the 20th century, historians paid little attention to the magnificent story, praised the great people and the state, and began seeing history as social science. Soon, historians applied history to geography, politics, economics, archeology, anthropology. Those who insist that historians remember the facts are the power of their imagination.
