Criticism of Amestris
From Wikinfo
Scholars in various disciplines disagree about the historical veracity of some of these details. Herodotus was one of the first writers to include some idea of his methods of data collection, which included oral literature from the places where he traveled. Historians and anthropologists disagree over whether Herodotus shows obvious pro-Greek biases throughout his histories, or whether he was a relatively objective recorder of what he saw and heard.
