Herodotus
Definition
- Herodotus of Halicarnassus in Caria (currently Bodrum on the Aegean coast of Turkey) was one of the earliest known historians and is most renowned for his chronicling of the Greco-Persian Wars. His approach to the writing of history set a precedent for later historians' concern with establishing causal links between past and current events.
