Herodotus Herodotus

    Hérodotos, často nazývaný „otec dějepisu“, byl starověký řecký historik, který systematicky shromažďoval a ověřoval materiály k napsání působivého vyprávění. Jeho hlavní dílo, „Dějiny“, zkoumá původ řecko-perských válek a je plné geografických a etnografických poznatků. Ačkoli některé jeho příběhy byly fantastické, Hérodotos tvrdil, že pouze zaznamenává to, co mu bylo řečeno. Ve své práci se snažil o větší důraz na znalosti než na pouhé pobavení, ačkoli někdy zařazoval nadpřirozené události pro dramatický efekt a aby potěšil své publikum, což mu vyneslo obvinění ze lhaní.
