Lectures on the Philosophy of World History | 
I have to wonder when in history it became apparent that Herodotus fabricated a lot of what he claimed to have witnessed. Clearly it was after Hegel's "The Varieties of Historical Writing," because my man gives Herodotus way too much credit; this then evokes the question of how deeply 19th-century philosophers and historians misunderstood the Greeks and how their fallacies have translated into our modern understanding of them. Yikes.
