Synopsis
Excerpt from Thucydides and History
Herodotus breaks out to record his personal dissent from the ntild and abstract proposition of some contemporary Darwin that man is only an animal and need not he more careful of his behaviour in temples and holy places than animals are seen to be. The proposition is displeasing to me he tells us: Thucydides will not let his personal disgust he seen even when infants are butchered. It seems to be beneath the dignity of history: to be an unworthy concession to popular feeling and superficial sentiment, to be a playing to the gallery and the ground lings.
