Herodotus Herodotus has been called the "father of history." He was the first writer that we know of (probably really the first) who tried to (in his own words) find out what had happened in the past "so that what people did will be remembered later, so that the great and admirable monuments that the Greeks and the barbarians made would be famous, and, among other things, to write down the reasons why they had a war."
Herodotus was born around 485 BC in Turkey, in a Greek town called Halicarnassus. Like other writers of his time, Herodotus was from a rich family, and always had plenty of money himself. He was able to go to school , and he learned all the works of Homer as a boy.
The most important thing that happened while Herodotus was a child was that the Persians and the Greeks fought a war. The Persians conquered Herodotus' own hometown of Halicarnassus shortly before he was born, but when they

http://www.strangescience.net/herodotus.htm
Herodotus
Historians of classical antiquity considered Herodotus the "Father of Lies" for passing along hearsay, and perhaps even inventing tales for his own amusement. Some even questioned whether he really undertook the travels he described in his writings. Living in the fifth century BC, Herodotus was a widely traveled and well-read historian, and he did relate tales of mythical griffins, flying dragons and gigantic heroes. Was he simply a liar? Modern finds in paleontology and archaeology suggest another possibility. The griffins, according to Saka-Scythian nomads that Herodotus interviewed, were four-legged and lion-sized, with wings and sharp beaks. What the nomads might have seen to prompt these myths were fossil skeletons of Protoceratops and Psittacosaurus dinosaurs. When in Egypt, Herodotus wrote that he was shown piles of "bones and spines." These may have belonged to spinosaurs, large Cretaceous reptiles with dorsal membraned spines. And the giant skeletons of heroes may well have belonged to fossil mammals from the Miocene, Pliocene and Pleistocene epochs. So who was Herodotus? He was arguably the world's first anthropologist, recording not only the legends but also the lifestyles and languages of other cultures. Herodotus certainly didn't practice science as we know it today. What he probably did do was faithfully recount the best explanations his contemporaries could offer for fossil finds.

These straits the Greeks in general call Thermopylae (the Hot Gates); but the natives, and those who dwell in the neighbourhood, call them Pylae (the Gates). Here then the two armies took their stand; the one master of all the region lying north of Trachis, the other of the country extending southward of that place to the verge of the continent. [7.202] The Greeks who at this spot awaited the coming of Xerxes were the following:- From Sparta, three hundred men-at-arms; from Arcadia, a thousand Tegeans and Mantineans, five hundred of each people; a hundred and twenty Orchomenians, from the Arcadian Orchomenus; and a thousand from other cities: from Corinth, four hundred men; from Phlius, two hundred; and from Mycenae eighty. Such was the number from the Peloponnese. There were also present, from Boeotia, seven hundred Thespians and four hundred Thebans.

http://www.shunya.net/Text/Herodotus/TheHistorian.htm
The Historian TOC Herodotus’ main sources were ‘what he has been told’ and ‘what he has seen’. This was probably the best he could do and it must have been hard to ascertain facts about a war that had acquired mythical dimensions in his own lifetime, few of whose participants were still alive for comment. He had few, if any, written documents to rely on – he queried priests, leading citizens, interpreters, eyewitnesses, ‘men with traditions’ – often fragmentary and unreliable. He also did land surveys and inspected battle sites. Unlike Thucydides, Herodotus focused primarily on the non-Greek world. We know little about his private life and in Histories he offers practically no biographical information. On his travels, he covered a large part of the Persian Empire: he went to Egypt, at least as far south as Aswan, and he also visited Libya, Syria, Babylonia, Susa in Elam, Lydia, and Phrygia. He journeyed up the Hellespont to Byzantium, went to Thrace and Macedonia, and traveled northward to beyond the Danube and to Scythia eastward along the northern shores of the Black Sea as far as the Don River and some way inland. These travels would have taken many years (some estimate twelve) and contributed to the almost encyclopedic scope of the Histories

Herodotus
b. , 484 BC?, Halicarnassus, Asia Minor [now Bodrum, Tur.]
d. 430, -420 Greek author of the first great narrative history produced in the ancient world, the History of the Greco-Persian Wars. It is believed that Herodotus was born at Halicarnassus, a Greek city in southwest Asia Minor that was then under Persian rule. The precise dates of his birth and death are alike uncertain. He is thought to have resided in Athens and to have met Sophocles and then to have left for Thurii, a new colony in southern Italy sponsored by Athens. The latest event alluded to in his History belongs to 430, but how soon after or where he died is not known. There is good reason to believe that he was in Athens, or at least in central Greece, during the early years of the Peloponnesian War, from 431, and that his work was published and known there before 425. Herodotus was a wide traveler. His longer wandering covered a large part of the Persian Empire: he went to Egypt, at least as far south as Elephantine (Aswan), and he also visited Libya, Syria, Babylonia, Susa in Elam, Lydia, and Phrygia. He journeyed up the Hellespont to Byzantium, went to Thrace and Macedonia, and traveled northward to beyond the Danube and to Scythia eastward along the northern shores of the Black Sea as far as the Don River and some way inland. These travels would have taken many years.
Structure and scope of the History
Herodotus' subject in his History is the wars between Greece and Persia (499-479 BC) and their preliminaries. As it has survived, the History is divided into nine books (the division is not Herodotus' own): Books I-V describe the background to the Greco-Persian Wars; Books VI-IX contain the history of the wars, culminating in an account of the Persian king

Wadham College
Oxford Herodotus and his histories have been the subject of much inquiry, which is as it should be. Amidst all this inquiry, it is pleasing to find that two of the very shortest books about Herodotus are also two of the very best. One, called economically 'Herodotus', was written by John Gould and appeared in 1989. The other was published by Charles Fornara in 1971. The title is longer - 'Herodotus, an interpretative essay' - but the book is shorter. Shorter because its task is more circumscribed. Fornara does not aim to tell us about the Histories as a whole. He aims rather to explain why Herodotus wrote them, or why he wrote them the way he did. There is a lot more about Herodotus and his world in Gould's book, but the question of why Herodotus wrote is there, too, and the answer he comes to is a different one. I have myself always liked Fornara's little book and so welcome the idea of taking this chance to revisit in a positive way some of what he said. I do not have in mind to set one book against the other in detail, for I suspect that in the end we are not talking contradiction in any strong form. Not that the truth lies somewhere in the middle - this is not something truth often does - rather that there are two truths, the question being one of emphasis, or viewpoint. Nor do I have in mind to reinstate Fornara tel quel . That would not be very interesting, and, besides, I have one or two doubts there as well. All the same, I think that in the end Fornara's truth, or at least a main import of his Herodotus will remain, for me, prepollent.

He was probably born during the progress of the war he describes; he mentions events that took place as late as 430.

We knew that the Greeks had deliberately avoided the Iliad as a source for drama, out of a sense of awe. It was already the supreme tragedy - how could it be improved upon?

Herodotus and the Bible
by Wayne Jackson
Christian Courier: Archives
Wednesday, June 21, 2000 This article shows how the histories of Herodotus confirm the reliability of the Bible. Herodotus was a Greek historian of the 5th century B.C. It is believed that he lived approximately 484-425 B.C. For a number of years he traveled throughout the Persian empire, Egypt, and Scythia observing the culture of these ancient peoples. In his later life, Herodotus lived in Athens, finally settling in Italy where he spent the remainder of his days refining his masterpiece, The Persian Wars.
