(/hɨˈrɒdətəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἡρόδοτος Hēródotos [hɛːródotos]) was a Greek historian who was born in Halicarnassus, Caria (modern-day Bodrum, Turkey) and lived in the fifth century BC (c. 484–425 BC). Widely referred to as "The Father of History" (first conferred by Cicero), he was the first historian known to collect his materials systematically and critically, and then to arrange them into a historiographic narrative.[1] The Histories—his masterpiece and the only work he is known to have produced—is a record of his "inquiry" (or ἱστορία historía, a word that passed into Latin and acquired its modern meaning of "history"), being an investigation of the origins of the Greco-Persian Wars and including a wealth of geographical and ethnographical information. Although some of his stories were fanciful and others possibly inaccurate, he claimed he was reporting only what had been told to him. Little is known of his personal history. [mehr]

Until Recently We Were Dependent For The Beginnings Of Chinese History On The Written Chinese Tradition. According To These Sources China's History Began Either About 4000 B.C. Or About 2700 B.C. With A Succession Of Wise Emperors Who "Invented" The Elements Of A Civilization, Such As Clothing, The Preparation Of Food, Marriage, And A State System; They Instructed Their People In These Things, And So Brought China, As Early As In The Third Millennium B.C., To An Astonishingly High Cultural Level. However, All We Know Of The Origin Of Civilizations Makes This Of Itself Entirely Improbable; No Other Civilization In The World Originated In Any Such Way. As Time Went On, Chinese Historians Found More And More To Say About Primeval Times. All These Narratives Were Collected In The Great Imperial History That Appeared At The Beginning Of The Manchu Epoch. That Book Was Translated Into French, And All The Works Written In Western Languages Until Recent Years On Chinese History And Civilization Have Been Based In The Last Resort On That Translation.
