Such in vague and general outline is the strange story of the valley of the Nile of Egypt, the motherland of human culture and "That starr'd Ethiop Queen that strove To set her beauty's praise above The sea nymphs." Cf. Maciver and Thompson: Ancient Races of the Thebaid. Journal of Race Development, I, 484. Petrie: History of Egypt, I, 51, 237. From West Africa to Palestine, p. 114.
All sorts of prose compositions were carried to perfection by both Greeks and Romans, in history, in criticism, in philosophy, in oratory, in epistles. The earliest great prose writer among the Greeks was Herodotus, 484 B.C., from which we may infer that History was the first form of prose composition to attain development.

On the other hand Rhegium, although the mutineers resisted long and obstinately, was stormed by the Romans in 484; the survivors of the garrison were scourged and beheaded in the public market at Rome, while the old inhabitants were recalled and, as far as possible, reinstated in their possessions. Thus all Italy was, in 484, reduced to subjection.
Acacius took no notice of this citation, nor of the complaint brought against him. Thereupon, the Pope, in a council of seventy-seven bishops, held at Rome the 28th July, 484, made inquiry into all this transaction. He annulled the judgment on Peter the Stammerer, passed without his authority by his legates, deprived them of their offices, and of communion.
Aristides believed that the strength of the country lay in the landholders and in the land forces. In the attainment of public ends, he would not deviate from a straightforward course. Themistocles was by far the more captivating of the two men; and, in 484 B.C., Aristides was ostracised. Themistocles was thus left free to build up a powerful fleet.
