The father of history. Herodotus - Greek historian. Herodotus, later famous as a historian to the point of becoming known by his admirers as the 'father of history', was born in Halicarnassus, (now Bodrum, Turkey), in about 484 B. C.
Archimedes was born in 287 B.C. in the port of Syracuse, Sicily in the colony of Magna Graecia. His father was Phidias, who was an astronomer about whom nothing is known. We derive this information about Archimedes from his work The Sand Reckoner.
