Herodotus wrote b. the History of the Persian Wars.

Herodotus is often referred to as the "Father of History," and he was a Greek historian who lived in the 5th century BCE. His most famous work is "Histories," which is a record of his "inquiry" on the origins and the events of the Greco-Persian Wars as well as his travels and the customs and geography of the different places he had visited. The work is considered one of the first major works in the history of Western literature and historiography.
