Q2) Compare the approaches to history writing by Herodotus,Thucydides,and Xenophon.Which one is the true father of history?
Answer: Herodotus wrote extensively about the Peloponnesian War and portrayed it as a struggle between civilizations.He was the first to use evidence in his analysis,and he drew morally based conclusions from myths and legends of the war.Thucydides provided a history of the Peloponnesian War that examined the causes and effects from both sides and questioned thematically the nature of war and humans' responses to it.Xenophon wrote a great narrative style of history that conveyed events chronologically and became the standard of historical accounting.Because Thucydides wrote with greater objectivity than either of the others,he is more deserving of the title father of history.
