Herodotus was a Greek historian who lived from 484 B.C. to 425 B.C. He is known in the West as the “father of History”. He was the first historian that would test the accuracy of his collected information and then put it in a narrative. He is famous for writing “the Histories” which is an account of the Persian Wars. Although not all of his information was completely correct he did collect all of it from taking with other people (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herodotus).
Thucydides was a Greek historian who lived from 460 B.C. to 395 B.C. He wrote the “History of the Peloponnesian War”. He used cause and effect to explain this history so he gained the name “father of scientific history". He is also the creator of a school that studies political realism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thucydides).
