Herodotus' hermeneutical dilemma, prophetic voice, and an estranged child named Luke

Here is my presentation for the research network 'Herodotus Helpline'. 

I explain my research project that shows the similarities and differences between Herodotus, known as the father of Greek history, and Luke the evangelist who wrote history in his own way, combining elements of Jewish and Greek historiography. 

Was (is) Luke estranged from Herodotus’ legacy? 
If so, then by whom?
Estranged by time, place, culture, or religion? 
Estranged by scholarship? 
Estranged by Luke himself? 

Or there is some degree of rapprochement?
