Herodotus Herodotus

    Hérodote, souvent appelé « le Père de l'Histoire », fut un ancien historien grec qui recueillit et testa systématiquement des matériaux pour construire un récit vivant. Son chef-d'œuvre, « Les Histoires », enquête sur les origines des guerres gréco-perses, offrant une richesse de détails géographiques et ethnographiques. Bien que certains de ses récits aient été fantaisistes, Hérodote prétendait ne rapporter que ce qui lui avait été dit. Son travail marqua un passage de l'histoire considérée comme un divertissement à l'histoire comme une connaissance, bien qu'il ait parfois incorporé des éléments surnaturels à des fins dramatiques et pour plaire à son public, ce qui amena certains à l'accuser de mentir.
