      “That’s pretty broad, Herodotus. Are you sure you don’t want be a little more specific?”

      “I don’t think anyone will notice. Besides, I’ve got tickets to the Sirens tonight. Let’s go, bro!”

      Point in case, off handed vs thousands of years of history, archaeology, religious ties etc…

    3. The Romans renamed it Palestine after the Philistines to mock Israel after the Bar Kokhba revolt. I didn’t know the name was used by Herodotus before that.

      Can you imagine letting ancient texts dictate modern national legitimacy! The gumption!

      Ah dear god. Herodotus, you sweet mfer. 

      This isn’t even the first case of Herodotus doing something like this. He’s famed for it.
