Being a Hero in The Histories of Herodotus

Many people think he is the father of history; others prefer to call him father of lies. No matter what you think about Herodotus' work, the truth is that Herodotus has started a new writing history that human psychology occupies a basic position. He was the first historian to really think about the cause of the incident and did not limit his story to the fact. His "history" prove all the distinctive features he uses through the intrinsic analysis of a controversial topical story as well as his explanation of the fact, for example the true definition of a hero.

Herodotus is regarded as the father of the history of Western culture. He collects materials systematically and watches history as a science by testing their accuracy. Herodotus is also a talented narrator. The word itself itself comes from Herodotus' s book "History", which means "query" in Greek. This book is considered to be the first work in the history of Western literature. Euripides is also a tragedy in Greece. He wrote about 95 plays, 18 of which survived completely, and of which more were fragments. His most famous works are Alcestis, Medea and The Bacchus. His play was very modern in his era, because they drew very realistic characters including strong women and wise slaves - it was very traditional at the time. Euripides is a Greek tragedy and has the greatest impact on European tragedies

Herodotus and Thucydides invented the history of Western European countries, or at least that work. Prior to Herodotus, the Greeks did not have any information about history in the prose of prose in terms of stories of past events. Therefore Roman writer Shikero who called Herodotus "father of history" is right. Herodotus may be the first historian in the West, but Tucidides was the first contemporary historian. He explained the cause of the incident, analyzed political trends such as revolution, and evaluated leaders like pellicle. Furthermore, like today's historian, he searches the truth strictly and throws out information that can not be verified.

When I studied the history of Herodotus, what I first taught my students was one aspect of his work. . As a historian, the Herodotus investigation was limited to the evidence that he was able to find human events on the earth. Unlike the poet, Herodotus was unable to reach the gods, so unlike Iriad, his history is only from the human point of view. Herodotus still contained miracles and prophecies in his story, but we have never seen God moving behind the scenes. At best, humans can only witness magical events in his story, but we can not see the motives of the gods behind them or of God. Thucydides became more secular since he completely eliminated miracles from his story and discussed historical events only from a political and natural point of view. There is no God, miracle, or power in the history of war on Thucydides' Peloponnesos Peninsula.
