Herodotus was a Greek writer of the 5th century B.C. who wrote the first Western, historical work in the conventional sense of the term history. He is therefore known as the father of history. Writers before him, such as Hecataeus (c.500 B.C.), wrote purely geographical treatises or, if they delved into history, limited themselves to the quasi-mythical events of heroic times.
