We Have a History



Him and Wolverine —They Have a History Together.


“And I want to quote for you, to you, from the oldest history book in Western civilization. Not just because it's a book....  Any history course ought to do the two things that Herodotus named in the opening sentence of the oldest history book we have. 

This is Herodotus, The History. Isn't it great when you're writing the first book, what are you going to call it? “The History” — no subtitles, nothing fancy, just--

“The History.”

"I, Herodotus of Halicarnassus, am here setting forth MY History, that time may not draw the color from what Man has brought into being, nor those great and wonderful deeds manifested by both the Greeks AND the barbarians, fail of their report, and together, with all of this — 

The Reason WHY They fought one another."
