Herodotus: Reliable And Comprehensive Account Of The Persian Wars?

Abstract: 3 pages in length. Much like the repelling nature of oil and water, the concepts of fact and philosophy travel parallel paths that rarely - if ever - cross. This explains the reason why Herodotus's account of the Persian Wars is considered unreliable and imprecise, inasmuch as his perspective was based solely upon a chronicling of times, dates, facts, personal reports and other factually-based resources in order to compile his conviction about the Persian Wars. Herodotus fervently believed factual details were the only components worthy of categorizing with regard to the wars' comprehensive nature, noting quite unequivocally in his skeptical approach how there was no room for theoretical fluff when addressing history. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
