Herodotos

Herodotos (c. 484 BCE – c. 425 BCE), also spelt Herodotus, was one of the earliest Greek historians. Often referred to as "The Father of History" in Western society, his most famous work is the Histories, a chronicle of Greece that was later divided into nine books named after the Muses. Detractors, however, mocked him as "The Father of Lies" owing to his penchant for embellishment.
