I wanted to do a reread of trc with my friend but now I'm currently here reading Herodotus' Histories that contains footnotes such as "while there is no complete English study of Homer's influence on Herodotus we have taken our reference from this German book from 1972 that discusses it"

#i mean don't get me wrong i love Herodotus he's fantastic #and I'm definitely lucky because we have so much of his work compared to other classical greek writers #but like there just isn't adam parrish in the histories sooo #anyways looking forward to reading more of how H. historicised myths such as the kidnapping of io etc.#but really I think we all know the main attraction of the histories: how to catch crocodiles #ocr greek gcse 🤙#darkeyedghost
