I am looking for a translation of the word: story as in history.
I looked up the greek translation and it is this: Ιστορία
But I'd like to know what that word is written out in English...the English form of the word, like Doxazo Theon means "I praise God"...I'm pretty sure.
If we're talking about ancient Greek, the word ἱστορία originally meant "research." Herodotus, the first historian, presented the results of his "research" as a vast panorama of human events covering a very long period of time. In later ages, people came to call any such "Herodotean" account "history," so the original meaning of the word was obscured.
A "story," by contrast, was called a λόγος, if it was based on real experience, or a μῦθος, if it wasn't.
