Herodotus is the Father of history.\n\nHerodotus of Halicarnassus was a historian who lived in the 5th century BC . He is known for writing "The Histories", a collection of stories on different places and people he learned about through his travels. It includes the conflict between Greece and Persia.\n\nConversely, many historians and philosophers who take a more sceptical view of Herodotus' accounts and narratives have a different name for him, dubbing him "The Father of Lies" or "the deceiver"

In this book, Nietzsche, originally educated as a classicist, discusses the history of the Greek tragedy, and introduces an intellectual dichotomy between the Dionysian and the Apollonian (very loosely: wild emotion or sensation vs. calm reason or ideation). \n\nDionysus (Dionysian): intoxication, celebration of nature, cruelty, music, dance, pain, individuality dissolved and hence destroyed, wholeness of existence, orgiastic passion, dissolution of all boundaries, excess, human being(s) as the work and glorification of art, destruction.\n\nApollo (Apollinian or Apollonian): the dream state, principium individuationis (principle of individuation), plastic (visual) arts, beauty, stint to formed boundaries, individuality, reason, celebration of appearance/illusion, human beings as artists (or media of art's manifestation), self-control, perfection, exhaustion of possibilities, creation.

Pythagoras, the famous mathematician and contemporary of Socrates among the Greek philosophers belonged to the 6th century B.C.(569 - 475 B.C.) Apastamba Sulba Sutra, a set of mathematical formulas and principles belonged to 8th century B.C. and was in use in India which contains a list of Pythagorian Triples. It is indicative of the fact that Pythagoras learnt it from India before teaching the Greeks. Accoding to Albert Burk, Pythagoras copied it on his visit to India. Lecky in his 'History of European Morals' quotes an old tradition in Greece that Pythagoras had learnt in India from gymnosophists.\n\nPythagoras was a vegetarian and believed in transformation of human soul. He believed and lived like Indians that only by purifying your body you can attain divine powers and at the end merge with divinity. Hence, he insisted that a disciple should first be formally initiated by a preceptor who himself must be pure so that he can impart knowledge to others. Hindu thought also exerted a great influence on ancient Greek thought as M.E. Pococke shows in his 'India in Greece'.It is believed that besides Pythagoras, Appolonius, Democritus, Anaxarchus and Pyrrho also visited India. According to Lucianus, the Golden Philosophy first descended upon "the Indians, the mightiest nation upon the earth".\n\nThe famous Pythagorean Theorem was not in use for five hundred years after death of Pythagoras. It was Cicero and Plutarch who attributed the theorem to Pythagoras, though according to Sir Thomas L. Heath, there is no attribution by Pythagoras himself during his lifetime.

What a question! (I hope you'll care to tell us why you asked it?) First and foremost Aristophanes, the author of Lysistrate, is against war (or at least the Peloponnese War); Herodotus is in favour of (the Persian) wars; and Thucydides does his very best to remain neutral on the justification of (the Peloponnese) war. Second, Lysistrate is a comedy; Herotodus' works are basically a cronicle; Thucudides "History of the Peloponnese War" is one of the first attempts at real contemporary history. \n\nThird, there's the purpose of the writers. Aristophanes was a conservative Athenian who was probably pro-Sparta and intensely annoyed at this continued civil war between Athens and Sparta and their acolytes. He used Lystistrate to crack the whip over the war mongers and ridicule them for many of their, as he saw it, degenerate ways. Herodotus was apparently a deeply religious man, marked by the belief in Hubris (provoking the wrath of the Gods by getting above one's station in life) of his contemporary Greece. He used his works to show how the Persians - in attacking the Greeks and in their prior undertakings - were guilty of great Hubris and were justly punished. Thucydides was an upper-class Athenian in tune with the mainstream of his town, who was however exiled (the Athenian process of "Ostrachism" by which you could induce excessively powerful people to leave for a period of 10 years) during the Peloponnese wars. His work is sympathetic to his fellow Athenians in the early phases of the war when they were still a disciplined force; then gets increasingly critical as the Athenian conduct of the war gets more and more hysterical and erratic. \n\nFourth, what are the basic attitudes of the three works? Well, Lysistrate says "war is just too ridiculous". Herodotus says "war is necessary to fulfill the will of the gods". Thucydides says "stuff happens".
