IT has long been accepted that Herodotus’ views on Athens, in particular the Athens of his contemporaries, are a key for under standing his Histories. Although the position which Jacoby made canonical, namely that Herodotus venerates Athens, has for many years remained unchallenged, Strasburger more than forty years ago showed that in numerous passages Herodotus presents the Athenians in a bad light. Quite recently Stadter in fact demon strated that Herodotus criticizes the Athenians as the Persians’ direct successors in the collection of tribute from the lonians.
