The first coherent history we have is writen by the Hellene (Greek) Herodotos. His Histories (= researches) were written in the second half of the 5th Century BCE (430s), and covered a range of eastern Mediterranean/Middle East history, principally later 6th and early 5th Century down to the 480 BCE Persian invasion.

There is no doubt that others wrote historical accounts before and contemporary with him, but it is unlikely they were comprehensive or analytical, and only fragments of them remain to us. So Herodotus has been called by some The Father of History.

His preamble says:

Herodotos of Halicarnassos, his researches (historia) are here written down so that the great deeds of men may not be forgotten.
