Herodotus, a Greek author, known as the 'father of history' was born some time in the 5th century B.C. his book history, describing the wars between Greece and Persia is generally considered to be the first deliberate attempt to see the events of the time against a historical background. 'I am giving', he says,' the results of my inquiries (historiai) so that the memory of what men have done shall not perish from the world nor their achievements, whether of Greeks or of foreigners, go unsung. They form my theme, and the cause why they went to war'.
