Abstract
Herodotus, the father of history, is the first writer to describe the Asia-Europe division, based on which he delineates and analyzes the cross-continental relationship between East and West with a focus on the Greco-Persian Wars that took place in the 5th century BCE and lasts for roughly five decades. His attitude towards the Greco-Persian Wars in the Histories has long intrigued the attention of scholars. This paper attempts to show how Herodotus initiates the geographical distinction that lays the groundwork for the discussion of political forms— one of Herodotus’ central concerns in the work that he deems crucial to the progression and result of the Wars. The paper first analyzes Herodotus’ narrative of the Persian constitutional debate and the Hellenic discourse on democratic freedom. In conclusion, it is ultimately the inveterate ideological disparities between Persia and the Greek states and their different regimes approve of that determined the final results of the Greco-Persian Wars.
