[thanks for playing, dear sir or madam; i just taught "hymn to aten" so i had that little slice of egyptian history on my mind]

[a_potato]

Oh, nice! What do you do that you got to teach that?

[lunabee34]

I teach college English. I am teaching a World History 1 class; we just did that text a week or so ago. We're doing Thucydides next week.

:)

[a_potato]

I'll admit I'm completely unfamiliar with Thucydides. But...it seems to me that your job would be quite fun.

[lunabee34]

Thucydides is the second father of history, Herodotus being the first. Both are ancient Greeks. When I teach Herodotus, I usually teach his account of Thermopylae. With Thucydides, I usually teach Pericles's funeral oration. At that point, the Greek city states had banded together because of the Persian threat; Athens took advantage of a fund set up for defense of all the city-states, and the Pelopennisan war ensued. Thucydides is generally considered a ground breaker for his objectivity and the way he seeks out multiple sources for a historical event.

[a_potato]

Interesting. So...is he the first advocate for seeking out and using primary sources?

[lunabee34]

Kinda? I mean, I'm not a history expert, so I will defer to anyone else's expert knowledge here, but from what I can tell through my own research, he's one of the first to present an objective historical account through the effort of using multiple sources. He's also interested in motivation in a way that most of his contemporaries are not.
