Quoted text:
Herodotus wrote that Deioces, having built his city, established strict royal ceremonies. “Admission to the king’s presence was forbidden, and all communication had to be through messengers.” The idea was that “if nobody saw him the legend would grow that he was a being of a different order from mere men.”
Can you help us identify where in Herodotus’s Histories this is so we can add a citation? And check the quotation.
