Herodotus got quite a bit right, there is a good reason he is called ‘the first historian’. He records what he heard, many things quite fantastical, but says of many things “this I saw with my own eye.”
Travel guides in the Middle Ages had the East populated by headless people with faces in their torso's and other fantastical creatures. Herodotus was a shining beacon of truth compared to such rubbish.
