Best Answer

Ephorus of Cyme (in Asia Minor) in the 4th Century BCE wrote a universal history of Greece from the Dorian conquest to 340 BCE in 29 books. His son Demophilus added a 30th book. Unfortunately most has not survived - we have excerpts and quotations.

He is credited with being the first to write a universal history, however this is an exaggeration as he limited it to the Greek world, and universal means more than just the Greek part of history.

Who writes the history of the world?

History is written by people that lived during that historic time. For instance, a person who lived 3000 years ago in Ancient Greece maybe had a journal, and wrote about everyday life in it. Then, 3000 years later (today), scientists find the journal and copy all of the important info into history books. That person that lived with Greece 3000 years ago was the one who wrote history. Same goes with Babylon, Rome, Mongolia, China etc. Remeber, history is written by the people during that time.
