Summary Take the measure of two of ancient Greece's greatest historians. Begin with the work of Herodotus, often called the "father of history"; grasp the qualities of his history writing, and how he established the first principle of historiography: impartiality. Continue with Thucydides, credited with establishing the discipline of scientific history and the political theory of Realpolitik.
