Herodot, Anadolu’nun g\u00fcney bat\u0131s\u0131nda, bir Karya \u015fehri olan Halikarnas’da (Bodrum)\u00a0M.\u00d6. 484’de do\u011fdu. O tarihlerde Halikarnas’\u0131 korkusuz sava\u015f\u00e7\u0131 krali\u00e7e Artemisia y\u00f6netiyordu. Herodot’un gen\u00e7lik y\u0131llar\u0131nda ise Artemisia’n\u0131n torunu, b\u00fcy\u00fck Pers Kral\u0131 Artaxerxes’e ba\u011fl\u0131 bir diktat\u00f6r olan Lygdamis kral olmu\u015ftu.<\/p>\n
Herodot, ama\u00e7lar\u0131 Lygdamis ve Persepolis kral\u0131n\u0131n boyunduru\u011fundan kurtulup Halikarnas’\u0131 yine \u00f6zg\u00fcr bir Yunan \u015fehri yapmak olan devrimciler aras\u0131na kat\u0131lm\u0131\u015ft\u0131. Herodot’un amcas\u0131 epik \u015fair Panyasis, bu devrimci partinin \u00f6nc\u00fcs\u00fcyd\u00fc. Lygdamis amcas\u0131n\u0131 yakalay\u0131p \u00f6ld\u00fcrt\u00fcnce Herodot, Damos’a ka\u00e7m\u0131\u015f ve orada kald\u0131\u011f\u0131 sekiz y\u0131l boyunca yaz\u0131lar\u0131nda kulland\u0131\u011f\u0131 lon leh\u00e7esini \u00f6\u011frenmi\u015fti.<\/p>\n
En sonunda diktat\u00f6r yenilgiye u\u011frat\u0131l\u0131p tahttan indirildi\u011finde vatan\u0131na geri d\u00f6nd\u00fc ama yeni y\u00f6neticiler de kendisine Lygdamis gibi d\u00fc\u015fmanca davranmaya ba\u015flay\u0131nca Herodot, Halikarnas’\u0131 tamamen terkederek, gezgin bir hayat ya\u015famaya ba\u015flad\u0131. O s\u0131ralarda d\u00fcnyan\u0131n k\u00fclt\u00fcr merkezi olan Atina, Herodot’un ikinci vatan\u0131 oldu. Burada kendi vatan\u0131nda bulamad\u0131\u011f\u0131 sayg\u0131y\u0131 ve ilgiyi buldu. Atina halk\u0131 Herodot’un yazd\u0131klar\u0131ndan \u00e7ok ho\u015flan\u0131p kendisine maa\u015f ba\u011flad\u0131lar. Hatta yazd\u0131\u011f\u0131 tarih\u00e7eler, Olimpiyat Oyunlar\u0131’nda okunmu\u015f ve be\u011feni toplayarak alk\u0131\u015flanm\u0131\u015ft\u0131. Ancak Herodot b\u00fct\u00fcn hayat\u0131n\u0131 bu e\u011flenceli \u015fehirde ge\u00e7irmedi; d\u00fcnyan\u0131n bir\u00e7ok yerini dola\u015ft\u0131.<\/p>\n
Herodot’un eserlerinde anlatt\u0131\u011f\u0131 olaylar, kendi g\u00f6zlem ve ya\u015fant\u0131lar\u0131na dayan\u0131r. D\u00fcnyay\u0131 dola\u015fman\u0131n o \u00e7a\u011flardaki tehlike ve zorluklar\u0131 d\u00fc\u015f\u00fcn\u00fcl\u00fcrse, bu yolculuklar\u0131n da yaz\u0131lar\u0131 kadar ilgi \u00e7ekici oldu\u011fu kolayca anla\u015f\u0131l\u0131r.<\/p>\n
Nil Nehri’nin kuzeyine var\u0131p yukar\u0131 M\u0131s\u0131r’a, hatta Babil’in \u00f6tesine, Sus’a ve yeni bir Hamadan \u015fehri olan Ectaba’ya kadar b\u00fct\u00fcn Asya’y\u0131, Karadeniz, Ege ve Akdeniz’in b\u00fct\u00fcn k\u0131y\u0131lar\u0131n\u0131 gezdi. Yunanistan’\u0131 kar\u0131\u015f kar\u0131\u015f dola\u015ft\u0131. Epirus, Teselya, Atika ve Pelepones’de b\u00fct\u00fcn \u00f6nemli yerleri g\u00f6rd\u00fc.<\/p>\n
Atinal\u0131lar, M.\u00d6. 444 y\u0131l\u0131nda zenginli\u011fi atas\u00f6zlerine ge\u00e7en Sybaris \u015fehrinin y\u0131k\u0131nt\u0131lar\u0131 \u00fczerinde Thurii \u015fehrini kurdular; burada her ulustan insan ya\u015famaya ba\u015flad\u0131. Aralar\u0131nda Atina’n\u0131n b\u00fcy\u00fck s\u00f6ylevcisi Lysias, Syracusan ve Heradot da vard\u0131. Herodot’un burada ne kadar kald\u0131\u011f\u0131 bilinmiyor, fakat M.\u00d6. 426-415 y\u0131llar\u0131 aras\u0131nda \u00f6ld\u00fc\u011f\u00fc san\u0131l\u0131yor.<\/p>\n
Tutumu ve metoduyla bilimsel bir tarih\u00e7i olan Herodot, ilgi \u00e7ekici hikayelere olan tutkusu y\u00fcz\u00fcnden ger\u00e7ek olsun olmas\u0131n bunlar\u0131 da anlatm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r. Bu y\u00fczden de bir \u00e7ok kez b\u00f6nl\u00fckle, ger\u00e7e\u011fe sad\u0131k kalmamakla su\u00e7land\u0131. Oysa onun bu geli\u015fig\u00fczel gevezeli\u011fi okuyucunun ya da dinleyicinin ilgisini \u00e7ekmek i\u00e7indi. Herodot, ger\u00e7e\u011fi okuyucuya ayr\u0131nt\u0131l\u0131 ve ilgi \u00e7ekici bir bi\u00e7imde vermeye \u00e7al\u0131\u015fm\u0131\u015ft\u0131r. Herodot’un eseri, tarihlerin ilki ve d\u00fczyaz\u0131n\u0131n \u00f6nc\u00fcs\u00fc olmas\u0131n\u0131n yan\u0131s\u0131ra, anlat\u0131m\u0131n\u0131n ak\u0131c\u0131l\u0131\u011f\u0131 ve g\u00fczelli\u011fi y\u00f6n\u00fcnden de ilgin\u00e7tir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
