The Greek scholar who is known as "the father of history" is b)Herodotus. He was indeed a historian, but he is known as the first historian to collect his data systematically and critically and to arrange them in a historiographic manner.His only known work is "The Histories" which was an investigation into the Greco-Persian Wars, which contains a load of geographical and ethnographic information.
