 In his Histories, Herodotus uses Artabanus’ speech as the perfect platform from which to articulate his ideas on men’s affairs, especially in regards to war and peace. Artabanus’ speech follows a general principle that men must know when they have overextended themselves and when it is in their best interest to stop. In his Histories, Herodotus uses Artabanus’ speech as the perfect platform from which to articulate his ideas on men’s affairs, especially in regards to war and peace.

Line 15: Line 26:
 Herodotus adequately foreshadows what is going to occur in the future through Artabanus’ speech. He shows that wisdom can prevail over might and that wisdom is the key to accurately assessing the future. Just like Herodotus’ previous discussions concerning wisdom, the speech of Artabanus holds true not just for a particular time, but for all time.  Herodotus adequately foreshadows what is going to occur in the future through Artabanus’ speech.
