Histories
Ἱστορίαι
📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK
What remains unchanging truth amidst the rise and fall of human civilizations?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Reading the record of Herodotus, the "father of history," I saw not a mere list of the past but a grand human drama. Within the vast collision of the Persian Wars shine human courage and hubris, and the providence of the gods. Though it is a story from before the common era, the nature of power and the folly of humankind are startlingly like our own time. It is an eternal mirror that, through the road humankind has traveled, lights the way we must go.

"인간의 행복은 한 곳에 오래 머물지 않는다는 것을 알기에, 나는 크고 작은 도시들을 모두 이야기할 것이다."
