Historical Analysis

Why Herodotus would do that propaganda?
Re: Mandane was well below the age of marriage when she was given to Cambyses.
What was the age of marriage those days? My grandmother married at the age of 10 and had her first baby in the first year of marriage and was only 11 years older than her first child! Some girls reach puberty at the age of 8-9! Kiumars 12:14, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
