Early Greek historians, such as Herodotus and Thucydides, employed methods that are still valuable to modern historians. Their emphasis on primary sources, eyewitness accounts, and critical evaluation of evidence encourages a rigorous approach to historical research.

These early historians also highlighted the importance of questioning biases and motivations, which remains essential in contemporary historiography.
