Herodotos (born c. 484 BCE), also spelt Herodotus, was 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.[2] Detractors, however, mocked him as "The Father of Lies" owing to his penchant for embellishment.[3]
During the Peloponnesian War, Herodotos accompanied Kassandra on her adventures, documenting her ordeals, but this record would eventually become lost to humanity until 2018, when Layla Hassan found it.[4][5]
Biography
Herodotos was born on the island of Samos, off the coast of Anatolia.[1] Prior to the Peloponnesian War, Herodotos met and became aquainted with the captain of the Adrestia Barnabas. In 431 BCE, Herodotos met with him at the Sanctuary of Delphi, where he was introduced to Kassandra.[6]
After Kassandra's Spear of Leonidas eventually ran out of energy, Kassandra gifted it to Herodotos for his research. The spear was later buried along with his research until 2018, when it was found by Layla Hassan.[6]
Legacy
In 38 BCE, Herodotos' 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.[7]
Trivia
- Although Herodotos was born on Samos according to Ubisoft's official webpage for Assassin's Creed: Odyssey, he was historically born in Halicarnassus.[8]
- It's possible that Herodotos was a Sage as he was able to interact with an Isu artifact, the Spear of Leonidas , merely by touching it and seeing into the past. This was something that even Kassandra could not do.
