I need a sentence.

However they obtained it, the Greeks couldn’t resist adding their own original “explanations” to the definitions. For example, a Greek writer named Horapollo said correctly that the picture of a goose stood for the word “son.” But then he explained that this was because geese took spe­cial care of their young, which was completely inaccurate. He wrote that the image of a rabbit meant “open” because a rabbit's eyes never close—an equally false statement.

Answer:

The third-person point of view.

Step-by-step explanation:

There is the first, the second, and the third-person point of view which are used when narrating a story. The first-person point of view is characterized by using pronouns like I, me, and we when writing/telling a story. The second-person point of view uses pronouns like you, your, yours. In that situation, the writer makes an illusion of a direct conversation between the writer and the reader. The third-person point of view uses pronouns like he, she, it, and they, so we have the narrator who is outside of the story, like in this excerpt where the writer just tells us what he (Horapolio) did and thought, but the writer himself is not a part of the story.
