Summary:	This study gives an overview of the time of Herodotus and Thucydides. The author outlines the worldviews and concepts of history and humanity that lie behind the works of Herodotus and Thucydides, and he explains the Greeks' ideas of their own identity. He discusses aspects of the two historians' works: the art of their battle scenes; their sophisticated narrative technique; their description of gods, civic organization, and economic and social relationships. The conclusion of this study explores the reception of Herodotus and Thucydides in the Middle Ages and the modern era.
