希罗多德的史学方法并非岔笔过多或仅仅忠实记录逸事传闻。他的《历史》整体不凌乱，岔笔多与主题有关，他首创社会与文化史概念，功不可没；他记录史实，也以自己的知识为依据判断其真伪，即使在无法判断时采取的“有闻必录”的作法，也对今天之研究颇有益处。 Herodotus’s historical method is not excessive or only loyal record anecdote. His “history” as a whole is not messy, pen and pencil are more related to the theme, he pioneered the concept of social and cultural history, contributed; he records the facts, but also to determine their authenticity based on their own knowledge, even if you can not judge The “Wen Wen Bi Lu” approach, but also quite useful for today’s research.
