Herodotus (c. 484 BCE – c. 425 BCE) is one of the earliest Greek historians. Often referred to as "The Father of History" in Western society, his most famous work is the Histories, a chronicle of Greece that was later divided into nine books named after the Muses.[1] Detractors, however, mocked him as "The Father of Lies" owing to his penchant for embellishment.[2]
During the Peloponnesian War, Herodotus accompanied the Misthios on their adventures, documenting their ordeals, but this record would eventually become lost to humanity until 2017, when Layla Hassan found it.[3]
In 38 BCE, Herodotus' notes about Egypt were used by the priests of the Temple of Thoth in Sinai for research. However, they were later deemed to be filled with misinformation and odd anecdotes, resulting in some of his research being dismissed.[4]
