The title was originally given to Herodotos of Halicarnassos by Cicero. Herodotos' Histories (= researches) are the first coherent historical work we have, and although he included some tall tales of far-off places (ants being used to mine gold in India) in them, he is fairly reliable. The gabby tone and stories he included are understandable - he delivered the work as a series of paid-for lectures at Athens in the 430s BCE. A contemporaneous would-be historian Ctesias called Herodotos 'the father of lies' but his own work is downright unreliable (he also described tigers at the Persian court which fired darts from their tails) so he was not exactly in a position to sit in judgement.
