ヘロドトスの『歴史』

Here, we should examine several accounts in The Histories, which was written by Herodotus (B.C. 484?-420?).  For Herodotus was born in Halicarnassus, on the south-west coast of Anatolia, where is located in the territory of the former Empire of Hittite.  It is likely that some accounts in The Histories are influenced by traditions transmitted generation to generation in this area(ここで、ヘロドトス（B.C.484?-420?）によって著された『歴史』の記事について検証してみましょう。というのは、ヘロドトスは、アナトリアの南西岸、すなわち、旧ヒッタイト帝国領内のハリカリナッソスの出身だからです。ヘロドトスの『歴史』の記事のいくつかは、この地域で語り継がれてきた伝承の影響を受けているかもしれないのです。).
