Herodotus Vs Thucydides

At the start of conducting the research to write this paper - the specific instructions to accomplish developing an adequate paper; were to write a 2 to 3-page paper with focus on expounding on one war or an aspect of a war that the Hellenic peoples fought during the time period of 403 BCE to 490 BCE. The other thing this paper needs to explore is the history and work of Herodotus vs. Thucydides. In order to accomplish both these task, it is necessary to understand who the Hellenic people were, as well as, Herodotus and Thucydides.

In fact, challenges to the Hellenistic kingdoms emerged from internal conflict and new outside enemies. The mast dimensions of the empire made securing nearly impossible, and life outside the orderly large cities were filled with danger from bandits and pirates.
