#i may have this bias because my first classics prof was a herodotus stan too

Of all the human characters (historical figures) you have included in your story so far, who's your favourite (you don't have to answer, if you don't want)?

Off the top of my head I recall I drew an anachronistic Herodotus in one panel and since I am reading the Histories right now I’m very biased towards him. The people who hold Thucydides as peak Greek historian haven’t actually read Thucydides, they’re just people who like to pat themselves on the back for theoretically knowing Real History (tm) and not Made Up Stuff like Herodotus. Leave Herodotus alone, he’s the one and only Old Man Yells at Cloud in my heart and the kind of guy who throws in stuff like “one of the concubines at Sardis gave birth to a lion” just to make sure you’re paying attention.

For more Fun Facts from Herodotus, I provide my liveblogging on my main blog ( @allbeendonebefore ) and tag it hapo reads herodotus while my dear friend @judiejodia is also taking this challenge on with me using the tag herodotus blogging
