Herodotus is generally considered â the father of historyâ . Departing from the Homeric chronicle, â [h]e was the first to collect his materials systematically, to test their accuracy as far as he could, and arrange his story in such a way as to appeal to, as well as inform, his readersâ (PMM). His main theme, which is also the subject of the present work, was the struggle between Persia and Greece.
