Question 4

This article is one that would represent Thucydides historical views because he wrote a lot about a very specific topic. This article has some opinion in it, which Thucydides had to have done too because he knew so much about one idea. The article above is showing a good amount of information on the one topic just like Thucydides would have done.

This article represents one that Herodotus would do because it is a lot of general information. This contains many facts about the topic instead of writing a detailed paragraph or review on the topic. Herodotus wrote a lot of general information about many different topics. It isn't always the best information because it is very general.
