Περιγραφή : This study seeks to discover Herodotus? views concerning nature and natural events, including such unusual biological phenomena as the Phoenix, the giant goddigging ants of India and the mythical Hyperboreans. An examination of this methodology, and of the extent of his geographical knowledge, enables us to determine his criteria for belief and to understand his concept of the "natural". Further, his presentation of physical phenomena (such as earthquakes and solar eclipses), as either "natural" or "supernatural" -a duality which had hitherto been interpreted as uncertainty on his part- is demonstrated to be consistent and delibarate, and the criterion for his practice is established.
