Autorenporträt
Herodotus, born around 484 BC in Halicarnassus, a Greek city under Persian rule, is often hailed as the "Father of History." His extensive travels across regions such as Egypt, Asia Minor, and parts of Greece enriched his understanding of diverse cultures and historical events. These experiences culminated in his seminal work, The Histories, which offers a detailed account of the Greco-Persian Wars and insights into various ancient societies.In The Histories, Herodotus not only chronicles military conflicts but also delves into the customs, geography, and myths of the peoples he encountered. His narrative method combined systematic investigation with storytelling, laying the groundwork for historical writing in Western literature. Despite facing criticism from contemporaries like Thucydides, who accused him of embellishing facts, Herodotus maintained that he faithfully reported what he observed and was told.Later in life, Herodotus migrated to Thurii, a colony in southern Italy, where he continued his scholarly pursuits. His exact date of death remains uncertain, but it is generally believed he passed away around 425 BC. Herodotus's legacy endures through The Histories, which remains a vital source for understanding the ancient world and the early practice of recording history.
