Herodotus was famous for writing about what really happened in the past. The people of his time, where he came from, believed that everything happened because of the Greek gods, and that the gods had control over everything that happens. Herodotus thought differently. He believed that people should be remembered for what they had done, not what the gods did. Therefore, he tried to find out what happened in the past and write about it. He was called "the father of history."

The answer is The Histories
