Description The roots of history, both as a record and as a science, lie in ancient Greece, in the works of Herodotus, Thucydides, and Xenophon. Much of what we know about ancient Greek history is also owed to them and to those who continued their work up to the time of the Roman conquests—including Arrian, Polybius, Diodorus Siculus, and others.
