Herodotos of Halicarnassus has been described as the 'Father of History' by later historians. He wrote the first coherent historical account which has survived.

His contemporary Ctesias called him the 'Father of Lies' but Ctesias himself included in his own pathetic history the story of the Persian court tiger which spat darts out of its tail. Take your pick.
