Samian logos in Herodotus’s Histories
The article is devoted to the study of the image of the island of Samos in Herodotus’s work “History”. Particular emphasis is placed on assessing the role of Samos in the overall picture of Herodotus’s historical narrative. The issues of the relationship between fiction and historical reality are raised. The author concludes that Herodotus resorts to hyperbolization, often romanticizing historical events. Using such methods is one of the characteristic features of the epoch, and they should not be considered as an attempt to mislead the reader.
