Answer:

Herodotus

Step-by-step explanation:

Herodotus of Halicarnassus was a Greek historian and geographer who lived between 484 and 425 BC. C., traditionally considered as the father of History in the western world and was the first to compose a reasoned and structured account of human actions.

He devoted part of his life to travel to obtain the information and materials that allowed him to write a work of great historical and literary value. However, he received severe criticism, including from his contemporaries, for including in his work anecdotes and digressions that, although they provided valuable information, had little to do with the object of study that had been proposed: the Persian struggles against Greeks

"Herodotus" is considered the "Father of History." This title is mostly due to his comprehensive history of the Peloponnesian War, which gained him extensive notoriety.
