Which method separates modern historians from ancient Greek historians?
A. Use of a broad perspective to give a wide view of events
B. Basing history on witnesses' views of events
C. Use of a narrative to tell a story about history
D. Basing historical accounts on reliable evidence
The correct answer is D. Basing historical accounts on reliable evidence. Ancient Greek historians were writers more than they were historians so they would often describe things a bit differently than what really happened in order to make it sound cooler. Think of things like Homer's poems which are partly historical and partly a lie.
