Herodotus Herodotus

    Herodot, oft als „Vater der Geschichtsschreibung“ bezeichnet, war ein antiker griechischer Historiker, der systematisch Materialien sammelte und prüfte, um eine lebendige Erzählung zu verfassen. Sein Meisterwerk, „Historien“, untersucht die Ursprünge der griechisch-persischen Kriege und bietet eine Fülle geografischer und ethnograpischer Details. Obwohl einige seiner Berichte fantastisch waren, behauptete Herodot, nur das wiederzugeben, was ihm erzählt wurde. Sein Werk markierte eine Verschiebung hin zur Geschichtsschreibung als Wissen und nicht als bloße Unterhaltung, obwohl er gelegentlich übernatürliche Elemente für dramatische Effekte und zur Unterhaltung seines Publikums einfügte, was einige dazu veranlasste, ihm Lüge vorzuwerfen.
