Histories was mostly bullsht random locals told to H. when he was on holiday just to fuck with him.
My favorite is the woman who had sex with a donkey in Egypt, and the locals who claim everyone saw this happening.

On Greek history he's reliable, but a great deal of what he writes are just amusing anecdotes, first hand misunderstandings and rumor.

Often he just relates the bullshit random people believe about flying worms and birds delivering cinamon from the edge of the world.
He doubted England was a real place.

Great read; not really history.
