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.
Hesiod probably lived around 700 B.C., shortly after Homer, in a Boeotian village called Ascra. This is one of the few details of his life that Hesiod reveals in his writing. Hesiod worked as a shepherd in the mountains, as a youth, and then, as a small peasant on a hard land when his father died.
