The choice of Herodotus. Sukhanov S.S.

V century. BC. The Greeks bogged down in wars with the Persians, and many people and events affect the course of hostilities. So the story is born, and Herodotus is watching her by willy-nilly. As a boy, he is asked difficult questions about politics, and in more adulthood, along with his Uncle Paniasid, he turns out to be a participant in a number of political events and spy intrigues. It's so hard to figure out who is a friend and who is the enemy. Who acts correctly and who is mistaken, but the future historian must understand this. Otherwise, how will he write his “History”?
