Herodotus

I am usually good about taking notes as I read, especially when I know I'm going to disagree with an author. When it came to the Poetics of Aristotle which I read last night, I took a bunch of notes which I had already refuted before in an oh-so-brilliant paper of mine from AP English in highschool.

But I had never read Herodotus before, at least, not actually paying any kind of attention to him. My only note on the subject was, quote:

"Just *how* ADD is Herodotus???"

I fully intend to write one entry here in the style of Herodotus.

And, Dr. Roper, comments are fully welcome and appreciated on any and all posts in this blog.
