Greek historians

Greek historians are scholars from ancient Greece who studied and recorded the history, culture, and politics of their time. Notable figures include Herodotus, known as the "father of history," who aimed to explain why events happened, and Thucydides, who focused on accuracy and analysis of the Peloponnesian War. Their work laid the foundation for modern historical methods, emphasizing evidence, critical thinking, and storytelling. Greek historians combined storytelling with inquiry, helping us understand their world and influence contemporary thinking about history.
