Herodotus Climbs Ladder of History

Herodotus climbs ladder of history
Every time he does it he falls off
But he does not break his back
And does not lose scrolls of Ulysses

As historian I too love ladder climbing
But do you know how many times,
Pericles has broken my neck?
And snatched my scrolls of history?
