Eratosthenes, a Greek polymath who lived from 276 to 194 BCE, is often credited with being the "father of geography." He made significant contributions by calculating the Earth's circumference with remarkable accuracy using measurements of the angles of shadows in different locations. His work laid the foundational principles of geography as a scientific discipline and introduced concepts of latitude and longitude. Eratosthenes' approach combined mathematics, astronomy, and geography, influencing future generations of geographers and scholars.
