Herodotus Research Paper

As I read the “Reports of the Origins of Athens” there were two passages that stood out to me, Herodotus and Aristotle. In Herodotus, it contained some unique information that caught my attention, for example the Doric and the Ionic Blood. The other passage was Aristotle, which gave me some thought that took place in the past before I was born. Both of these article required some research, because there were some things I didn’t know about. Each section had a name to start off with. The section that was most interesting to me was Herodotus. Herodotus was a writer that invented the field of study called history. He was called “The Father of History” by the Roman writer and orator Cicero for his famous work The Histories. He was also called “The Father of Lies” by critics who claim histories are little more than tall tales. Critics of Herodotus noticed that his work seems to have originated from the Athenians. The pervious information was acquired from http://www.ancient.eu/herodotus/ .

Aristotle was a Greek Philosopher and a student of Plato and also a teacher to Alexander the Great. Aristotle had a major impact towards the groundwork for western philosophy. He was also a scientist, but not our ideal scientist today. He believed that knowledge could be obtained through interacting with physical objects. He also concluded that objects were made up of a potential that circumstances then manipulated to determine the object’s outcome. Mostly all of this information was acquired from
