# The inquiry states that nomos is king of all, after a comparison of burial customs

Date: 443

## The fact

Histories 3.38, as later transmitted, tells a Darius story about Greeks and Indians and their dead, then states that nomos is king of all. The instrument is that custom-comparison heading. It sits inside the same inquiry that also types people. Mixed effects stay split. Herodotus's documented role is: He reports Darius' experiment-story and Pindar's heading as later Greek. He did not pass a relativism statute.

## Context

Pindar is named. Sharing the heading with that poet is required. Egyptian types remain a worsening neighbour. The setting of The inquiry states that nomos is king of all, after a comparison of burial customs is the public file around -0443-01-01. Shared offices, unnamed crews, printers, or later editors may appear without becoming this instrument. Driver [social-cohesion](/drivers/social-cohesion) is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.

Later competitions, monuments, translations, UNESCO listings, museums, and adaptations are not converted into extra lifetime acts.

## Significance

Improving path from The inquiry states that nomos is king of all, after a comparison of burial customs on -0443-01-01. A public custom-is-king heading is a cohesion path against a unique sacred monopoly of one people's rites. The welfare reading on this path is improving.

Confidence is stated on the impact path, not hidden in adjectives. Do not call this a unique invention of cultural anthropology as a 19th-century faculty. Mixed effects of The inquiry states that nomos is king of all, after a comparison of burial customs are separate paths.

## What is established and what is not

Established: a sourced public record of The inquiry states that nomos is king of all, after a comparison of burial customs under -0443-01-01 for Herodotus. Established: a sourced public record of The inquiry states that nomos is king of all, after a comparison of burial customs under -0443-01-01.

Shared responsibility is part of The inquiry states that nomos is king of all, after a comparison of burial customs. Naming Herodotus does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from -0443-01-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.

The attached driver is social-cohesion. The welfare reading used in this dossier is improving. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
