Answer:

Hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

Herodotus was a very important historian just like Thycydides since they are both considered fathers of history but his writing was more hyperbolic his stories and to bring out a moral message for the reader.

Thucydides was very precise he wanted to tell history as it was. He did not hyperbolize his writing of history and just wanted to pass on and record history.
