- W73659635 abstract "Herodotus of Halicarnassus, universally acknowledged as the Father of History in western civilization, is an author far easier to read than to talk about. In this respect, as in so many others, he is the antithesis of Thucydides, whom it is far easier to talk about than to read. The artfully simple style and the naive air of wonder that characterize Herodotus' presentation of his historical enquiries exude the charm of fairy tales and, in the same way, defy authoritative analysis. To the charm of his tales is added from time to time a poetic intensity that is all the more overwhelming because it takes the reader unawares. Herodotus passes from gold-digging ants to the destructive envy of the gods without a false note. Historians have traditionally studied Herodotus for his detailed account of the great confrontation between the Persian invaders and the Greeks in the early fifth century b.c. For the momentous circumstances of Marathon and Salamis Herodotus was definitive in antiquity and remains so today. His compatriot of many centuries later, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, praised Herodotus for choosing as his theme a great triumph of the Greeks, and he faulted Thucydides for devoting his energies to the internecine disasters of the Peloponnesian War. But a century after Dionysius, Plutarch could just as easily take the opposite position, condemning Herodotus for being too sympathetic to the Persians and for disclosing Persian sympathies among some of the Greeks. But rather more than half of Herodotus' work is devoted to information" @default.
