History

This pioneering work of ancient Greek history takes the Persian War as its axis and connects the jigsaw puzzle of civilizations in the Mediterranean world. Herodotus injects ethnographic observation into the framework of military history. The mysterious burial rituals of the Egyptian pharaohs and the kumiss culture of the Scythian nomads have become prisms for exploring the universal nature of human nature. Its dual narrative ethics of "exploration and recording" not only retains the vivid texture of oral historical materials, but also frankly acknowledges the boundaries of knowledge - "What I hear, I write." I would like to pay tribute to this intellectual sincerity that transcends the times: deconstructing Hellenism from a fluid perspective and opening up a meta-paradigm of historical writing between epic and critical.

I especially like some of the plots in the book, such as the part where Io is taken away by the Phoenicians, which is very telling. However, I kind of hate the Greeks who robbed Europa. Their unjust actions make people angry. Overall, this is a book well worth reading!

Cow, needless to say, very curious
