Herodotus
Definition: Historian who
wrote the first history of Greece. Traveled widely, writing
about other civilizations as well. He is called the "Father
of History" because he was the first to attempt to
categorize things into a historical setting. However, some
of what he wrote is now known to be false, so it is not
entirely clear if all of his writings are to be believed.
Nonetheless, he gives us a clear picture of life "way back
then," including a remarkable history of the Persian
Wars.
