Herodotus Travels Abroad (484 B.C.)
By Susanna

Herodotus is a very interesting man. He is a writer, and for many years has been traveling to exciting places like Egypt, the Middle East, and South Africa. He enjoys writing about other peoples' cultures so we may understand them better. It is amazing how he can make these journeys because it is very hard to travel. Herodotus also has an interesting fascination with the Persians, he writes extensively on their lifestyle, for instance what they wear in battle, their education methods, and even what a rich man does for his birthday! He writes in a very enjoyable manner, and tries to make events exciting. He is one of the first people we know of to write down what’s happening around him. Herodotus at the moment resides in a Greek colony, and is currently working on his ninth novel on the Persian wars.
