Greek History

Because the history of Greece is a very broad term, there are not very many specific examples about it except for actual events. The history of Rome focused on three main things: philosophy, arts and architecture, and literature. It was important not only about making history, but also recording it. The father of history, Herodotus, was the only one who recorded history that were more than just dates, but explanations. In his recording, he applied reason and logic to his recording, examining bias and conflicts, not leaving them alone. While he also put in specific details on events, he would write his own reflections. Herodotus wrote about the Persian Wars, Persian Tyranny, and Greek love. Another //historie// (inquire) recorder, Thucydides, who practiced the same techniques as Herodotus, wrote about the Peloponnesian War. So these two Greeks who applied observation, reason, and logic, were the ones who preserved the History of Greece for future times.
