Author : Herodotus

Herodotus (c. 484 – c. 425 BC) was a prominent Greek historian and geographer hailing from Halicarnassus, now part of modern-day Turkey. Known as "The Father of History," a title bestowed by Cicero, he authored the seminal work *Histories*, which meticulously chronicles the Greco-Persian Wars and the lives of notable figures from that era. Herodotus was the first to systematically investigate historical events, weaving together not only accounts of military confrontations such as Marathon and Thermopylae but also providing rich cultural, ethnographical, and geographical context. Although he faced criticism for including what some deemed legends or fanciful narratives, Herodotus maintained that he reported what he observed and what was shared with him. Many aspects of his work have been validated by contemporary historians and archaeologists, affirming his lasting influence on the study of history.
