Answer 1

Herodotus of Halicarnassus (c. 484-425 B.C.) :
We know few facts about the life of the Greek historian Herodotus. He was born in the essentially Dorian colony of Halicarnassus on the southwest coast of Asia Minor -- then a part of the Persian Empire -- shortly before the expedition against Greece led by the Persian king Xerxes.
Lyxes, the father of Herodotus, was probably from Caria -- like Artemisia, the despot of Halicarnassus who joined Xerxes in his expedition. Following victories over the Persians by the mainland Greeks during the Persian War, Halicarnassus rebelled against foreign rulers. In consequence of his rebellious actions, Herodotus was sent into exile to the Ionian island of Samos, but then returned to Halicarnassus around 454 to take part in the overthrow of the son of Artemisia, Lygdamis.

Herodotus of Thurii:
Herodotus calls himself Herodotus of Thurii rather than Halicarnassus because he was a citizen of the pan-Hellenic city of Thurii, which was founded in 444/3. One of his fellow colonists was the philosopher Pythagoras of Samos.

Herodotus:
Between the time of the overthrow of Lygdamis and his settling in Thurii, Herodotus traveled around most of the known world. On one trip Herodotus probably went to Egypt, Phoenicia, and Mesopotamia; on another he went to Scythia. Herodotus traveled to learn about foreign countries -- to have a look (the Greek word from which comes our English word theory). Herodotus also lived in Athens where he spent time in the company of his friend Sophocles.

Popularity of Herodotus:
The writing of Herodotus was so well received by the Athenians that in 445 B.C. he received a reward of ten talents.
Herodotus - The Father of History:
Despite major shortcomings in the area of accuracy, Herodotus is called "the father of history." Even by his contemporaries, though, he was sometimes referred to as "the father of lies."
Herodotus' Histories, a celebration of the Greek victory over the Persians, were written in the mid-fifth century B.C. Herodotus wanted to present as much information about the Persian War as he could. What sometimes reads like a travelogue, includes information on the entire Persian Empire, and simultaneously explains the origins of the conflict by reference to mythological prehistory. Even so, this was an advance over the previous writers of quasi-history, known as logographers.
