Uhhh, Herodotus is known to some as "Father of lies"?
What the fuck? What Christard came by and thought they were cute slipping this in? Wikipedia needs to be more vigilant about this shit especially with these types of subjects. The article for "secular morality" is essentially entirely written by some illiterate Christard. Or it was the last time I saw it.
Fuck Christianity and shame on you Wikipedia for allowing this shit to happen.
-Some guy.
- Actually, Herodotus really was called the "father of lies". He reported a great deal of legend as fact, including the story of the phoenix. But he is also the first historian, and I strongly recommend reading him. Thucydides, too.Rick Norwood (talk) 20:45, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
::Should we cite Plutarch's "De Herodoti malignitate" as the likely place where the "Father of Lies" moniker got its start, or just leave it as is? Murfman (talk) 15:12, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
I found the origin and added a secondary and primary source. If I overstepped my bounds in doing so I apologize. Murfman (talk) 15:12, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
