Article · Italiano

Erodoto, detto di Alicarnasso o di Thurii, (in greco antico: Ἡρόδοτος, Hēródotos, pronuncia: [hɛːródotos]; Alicarnasso, 484 a.C. – Thurii, circa 425 a.C.) è stato uno storico greco antico. Fu considerato da Cicerone come il «padre della storia». Nella sua opera, ispirata a quella dei logografi (in particolare Ecateo di Mileto), egli cerca di individuare le cause che hanno portato alla guerra fra le poleis unite della Grecia e l'Impero persiano, ponendosi in una prospettiva storica, utilizzando l'inchiesta e diffidando degli incerti resoconti dei suoi predecessori.
