Thus the first European history was a presentation of the earliest phase of the eternal East- ern Question. Herodotus introduces his subject in these words: These are the researches of Herodotus of Halicarnassus, which he publishes, in the hope of thereby preserving from decay the remembrance of what men have done, and of pre- venting the great and wonderful actions of the Greeks and the Barbarians from losing their due meed of glory; and withal to put on record what were their grounds of feud.... His own native city was one of the early victims of this feud, and his youthful imagination must have been deeply stirred by the glorious conflict for free- dom through which his people had passed. While his extensive travels gave him a cosmopolitan view, they did not diminish the strong national feeling which the The Historians. Herodotus 305 events of his youth had enkindled in him, as in all other Greeks. He approached his subject, also, with something of the religious feeling with which ^Eschy- ius interpreted the "heroic legends of Greece: the hand of divine providence alone will explain the miraculous overthrow of the enormous power of Persia by a handful of Greeks; the successful become inso- lent and overweening, are infatuated, and God brings them low.
